Can't wait for your stuff to be released

Yes...aluminati, not steelie,lol

The best part about a full CF hood is it's ability to take impacts and NOT dent like alloy sheet metal.

Oddly enough, it takes the same amount of work to make an infused FRP hood as a full CF version. So cost of parts is driven by the seller, not the buyer.
My main focus will be CF products regardless. And the 300$ parts your referring to are from China and made with open mold wet-lay-up methods and don't even register in quality. No comparo.

There's a custom GT styled hood made by Carbon Creations in Cal(not CF tho)and I'm wondering if you know about quality and fit for these?

As it's mid winter now I'm wondering if you have info on your CF or GRP hoods yet?

And since you're making these light weight ones now would you have a used factory hood for sale?
Thank you for info so far.

I have seen what they refer to as a GT hood. I'm not liking that venting element they used at all.

When I get done with the M hood molds, I will indeed have a alloy hood to put up for sale, unless I choose to use it further for a jig hardware mock-up.

Can you say when you'll have your mold hood or the CF ones for sale please?
