I do wonder what might happens with hoods propped open and wind.....could one or two simple supports like used to hold hoods and doors open at car shows work ??? I bet they would!!!
Thanks Med....I know this has been a lot of trouble for you and I hope this does not prevent you from using your talents for future products......I'd love to see more!!!!!

Re: Vented Carbon Fiber Hood Design Status
I got my hood today.....
Med went through way too many hoops with FED-X
I went over the box with a fine tooth comb and the driver was very helpful and understanding....he marked the invoice "subject to inspection" when I told him I needed to take the hood over to my shop and that I did not want to completely unwrap the hood.......helps to have one arm all tied up from the surgery.
I'll update later when I get some help with the hood.....

I appreciate the patience of the last 3 guys that received the vented CF hoods. I'm actually in Ireland right now, nevertheless my XF is in a Seattle paint shop getting the SRT-6 bumper and Vented hood painted to match the car.
I'll post pics in 1 week.
Now to get these OEM styled CF hoods out of this storage unit is my next task.
FYI...
To do a 3rd bulk buy on the vented hood design will require full payment upfront on 10 hoods. I tried twice to just collect deposits and that has left me in the red both times with guys backing out after the orders placed.
Please understand the process to get the product from point A-Z is not free, and being stuck with the bill is very hard on a guy that suppose to be getting married.

My car is currently in the shop for paint, nevertheless, the spare has been boxed up.
I have received multiple offers for the 2nd Vented Prototype hood. I will let you know if the guy drops out. Dropping out on a deal is pretty common around here

Dear Mad_Med!
I have a question about carbon fiber hood.
As saw on our forum it`s possible to buy one from you.
If it still possible, I`d like to know price/weight and possibility to ship it to Russia.
Best regards,
Andrey
