The only thing I see wrong with that is you'll lose the stability at higher speeds due to the air flow under the hood. The hood may fly open because it can't stay rigid enough to keep locked. I have enough trouble with a stock hood at 120 MPH as is right now, as it looks like it may fly open.Quote:

yeah, i would say hood pins too if you like to go that fast all the time. but they really dont look to great on our cars for some reason. IMO
Yeah well....looks is not as important as staying alive. lolQuote:

not the one he has on now, the other one on his cardom site. it shows it in two pieces on his table. unless they started selling front clips in two sections or he cut it, i think he made.
Maybe because those things are listed as Mod "Wish List" :DQuote:

Read it again...That's what I want in my WISH LIST section.....That's why there is no pics of it YET!Quote:

The whole project was done over last winter, & was finished during a week of vacation time I took off (used about 50 hours) to do the final prep & fitting.
The two pieces on the table were both the Front & the Rear fascias!Quote:

It's a sedan Erebuni kit! I just heavily modified it instead of starting from scratch.Quote:

i won't pay $270 for a plain carbon fiber hood like that. now if it was EVO style or has some nice vents in it, i might consider it... but not a stock copy of the original hood.
You must remember that CF is more $$$ too. I do agree that just stock replacement is too pricy though......I would like to see some custom hoods is CF actually.Quote:

I know its stock looking, but I don't see why you guys want aggressive looking hoods like evo style and such, our cars arn't aggressive looking so I think it would look out of place to have a stock bodied car with a mean looking hood...
i'd do it with a stock replica hood... i would have it painted, though... probably cut a ram-air scoop into it, too
well i wont mind having a vent in the hood or on the side corners of it cause to disperse the heat from the engine bay. Turbo generates a lot of heat and to cool it down faster, its much easier to have a place where the extra heat can vent thru, so u can have a better cooling of the engine and the turbines itself by air.Quote:
