any pics with the hood and the side splitters? I have the splitters sitting at home and now waiting on the hood.
would be great to see how the combination looks like!
I'll get you some in a few days. I'm out if town right now. The hood and splitters go great together

Does anybody know what size the mounting bolt thread is on these new hoods? I have one that is still in its box, but when I inspected it from the freight company I noticed it was missing one. I have somebody coming by to help install the hood and I dont want to have to chase hardware. Not sure if the stock hardware will work or not but one bolt snapped on me rendering it useless and I was careful as I could be. Thanks for the help

It's the same size as factory
Thanks for the response. Can't wait to hang this thing on the car!!! Did you use an alternate latch method in addition tot the factory latch? Many are going with Aerocatch option bit Im not wanting to cut into my hood that much...

I'm stuck between the aerocatch and doing the old school pins and just powder coating them black

Same here, either option is a good one as the hood is so much win!!! Your car looks great unpainted CF. Mine will be OW unpainted as well and match my rear decklid.

Cell phone pics aren't the best at capturing the weaves of the carbon, but it does look pretty killer.

I finally got my hood, it made it safely all the way to Germany, YAY!!!
Looks awesome, can't wait to get it on the car! First the engine swap though... and find out what actually fits under the hood *doh*

Thanks,

yes we have a few left but very limited. the only way id do another run is if there were enough people interested. i dont have an extra $10k to put down to sit on hoods in inventory. and we need a minimum number of hoods to make a batch. i believe it was 10.

i have a few pms to return about these. ive discussed them with quite a few people but nobody has stepped up. i dont know if people are thinking they can grab them for the GB price but that would not be fair to the people that waited a year for their hoods OR myself who invested quite a bit of money into this project and has to sit on them. i havent even covered the cost of the mold.
