I am working on another hood which happens to be the same color as your Venomous01 but it will be used as a template for carbon fiber hoods or just fiberglass which should be alot lighter.
I just picked up some abs plastic so i can to start making a front splitter. Need to get the areo stuff done for the autoclub speedway "mustangs vs the c6zo6's".
I will be done with the hood next week, then it goes to the mock-up guys whom makes forms for it. It will be then shipped to overseas to have the actual carbon fiber hood made. Then it will be shipped back to us for fit and finish. Cost should be competitive with other aftermarket hood except mine will be proven on that track. The person/persons whom put this together is wildponymotorsports.com.

We could make it either way but i would think most people want the hood to open/close using the factory hardware. We are thinking about what would sell the most since we have to front the money for the molds and materials.
I'm in for the initial group buy..
I was able to get the splitter cut out and it looks really good, just need a way to mount it now. I already welded an angle bracket to the k-member to hold the rear of the splitter. Cost for the abs was $90.00 plus 1 cut (10.00) with tax came to $108.00. It is 1/4 thick and i am going to double up the leading edge. The cost for 1/2 abs is $240.00.:shrug:
Few things:
1.How far under the car does it go?
2.Have you looked into better cooling because the car is a bottom feeder and you have effectively cut it off.
3.On the edges near the ties, put a vertical piece to smooth the air. I was reading a test in an issue of Race Car Engineering where they windtunnel tested a Nobel M12 and messed with the splitter. They put some vertical risers (just a square) and it helped the downforce. It's almost like a canard but it doesn't curve, it's a rectangle.
I'll snap a pic of what I'm talking about tomorrow in my design.
