Like we don't get looked at enough already!!! Congratulations on your project. Under a year ain't so bad at all. Props amigo! I would (for me) paint it, and hopefully the price is right. Besides the venting benefit, I would look forward to not being associated with a SEBRING (not that there's anything wrong w/ that). Bob

Agreed.

Med, you did great sir. I can't lie -- I was REALLY dreading the revision as I was afraid you were going to lose the function. But, I stand corrected.

As everyone else is chanting... price point?

Looking nice man. This version looks even better than the last. Just make sure you have them package it in a solid container like a crate so your shiny new hood doesn't get damaged!

The bulk buy units will be in a crate. As far as this finished sample, I'm going to take another chance with DHL , but with insurance this time!

Sounds Good!!!

The Final Design should be here Tuesday! Bulk Buy will start on the following week!

Looking at the numbers of people I have now, the redesign cost to the bulk buy should not be much! I will post more after the holiday!

Thank you for pushing me towards perfection for 11 months, and joining me in this adventure!

SHE IS BEAUTIFUL!


I will present a Full report in Two weeks.

Please don’t post any negativity

I appreciate everyone, and I mean everyone that has help inspire this design, members at CAA, to the people monitoring it on the forum, and yes my guys that would meet me after work or even in INDY to critique it for perfection.


Thanks from

Med & The Crossfire Community
