Did someone say matching skirts?

 

no someone didnt

 

Back on topic.

I should have a update tomorrow.

Thanks

Aweful for truckers?? Try driving around these torn up roads on some 20" rims with black rubber bands for tires

Let me know, you may have 2 boxes to bring back

 

FYI

I might be in Indianapolis Indiana this coming Weekend!

As of right now, I'm looking into the different vent design, and also different mesh... preferably a very tight mesh design over the 1st design. Another issue I'm working deals with the rear hinges. The current design looks just like the OEM hood, where as I was told by a body shop on Saturday that I should have the rear hinge arms slotted in order to allow the height on the hood to be adjustable in the rear for the best fit...


Thanks,

slotting the rear mounting tabs would be smart, but at this point, modifiying the hood itself isnt very cost effective.

you can make an aluminum plate thats slotted to include with the hood to space it out if need be. Slotting the frame of the hood can lead to structural weakness, especially if a bolt backs of and the hood starts flexing at the mounting points

 

Let me know and I will meet up with you...and I had a company that has all kinds of mesh for sale...I will look that info up for you...

 

I dropped my car off today after work at Perfect Finish located in Fairview Heights IL. to get my dents pulled. Last month a girl pushed her shopping cart into my car. So after 11 dents and a paint refinish ... She will be Show stopping worthy!

Having a different mesh will look nice. Honestly, after driving this design for two weeks, I love it. The only reason I'm cleaning her up is because a guy saw my car and asked to put it in a magazine this past Sat... . So, I now have a photo shoot to get her ready for!

As far as the group buy, the plan is to start it once we have a design that everyone who voted will be happy with. The only hold up is the vent mesh, and whether or not the jaguar vent will work or not. Besides that, 20 units are all we need! Even though we see 50+ people listed, that would normally equal 25 or less willing to put 1/3 down. The 1/3 non-refundable deposite will get the bulk buy production order started. Updates soon.


Thanks,
Med

 

11 dents, what did you do, take her parking spot or refuse to buy her a dress???


I presume it is going to be a local rag this guy is putting your picture in? Let me know which one so I can try and snag one.

 

Door dings...

The parking at my jobs is very tight.

 

Med, was thinking about a vented/ slanted/slotted, stainless steel, or black matte finished vent to fit over or in your vents, then some finer mesh material underneath the vents, to stop any debri from getting into the engine area, I think this would give you more of the jag look covers, and you would only have to fab the parts to fit in your present vent design. Just a thought.

 

Let's keep it simple.

Im looking to get either the jag design or smaller mesh in the current design.... That's it.

 

So there is a 1/3 non refundable deposit, when would the second payment be due, and when is the balance payable?

 

Well thats why I thought a louver type insert would be a nice option, but I do understand, I really like the look of the jag style vents because it covers up the whole, I'm not sure if I really like the open vent look. But interested in seeing as to what you come up with. If I do get this hood, from what I've been reading you can paint this hood as well, because I have the SSB and I don't think the black cf hood will look good on my car that way. Does any one know about how much a good paint job would cost to paint the hood? Its nice to see a good designed hood, great job! ( with giving credit to all who gave their input or help )

 

I have a estimate of $580 to have my stock hood repainted to match . This shop does about 90% hi end cars

 

I received an estimate for a $550 regular Job and $700 for a show finish from the shop that just pulled all my dents. I was thinking about getting my next hood (damaged prototype replacement) painted sometime in Oct. The tech guy told me all aftermarket hoods have to be blocked down in order to give a show stopping finish.

FYI.... Maco ain't bad..... But that's not for me....

Thanks,
Med

 

2 days left on the poll! May 28th!!!

 

The heck with the poll.... we want to see more pics of the hood....or updates on vents.... or other good stuff...

 

I have to agree with Mike. I want to see high quality detailed pictures before I purchase. I voted as interested just to let it be known.
