[QUOTE="Blkkbgt, post: 16411879, member: 117234"] [USER=40308]@Steve@TF[/USER] You stated that you have someone interested in taking over and that could potentially be really great for us. One thing that I think a lot of us would love to see is this hood made by someone other then ED and more available. Why not made by ED? Simple, Duraflex material is GARBAGE. ED can talk up the positives of the material all day but the reality of it is I know people who have bought their parts made of Duraflex only to see serious fitment issues with two bumpers and terrible flexing of a hood when cruising at 60.
