Sweet! Consider me in on the group buy

. What's the finalized pricing & your expected GB rate? Are your initial releases just offered in CF, FRP, or will you offer both? Also, could you please take pics of how it looks under the hood? Specifically on the latch & hinges.

Thanks!

Also the hood is going to be available in fiberglass.

A production hood should be ready by next week for test fitting.

I will hopefully have pics up by next Friday.

Any plans for Orange/black? I definitely want this hood...but would prefer a color that matched my car. LeMans Sunset

also, on those vents, do they have any water gard so that water will not dump into the engine bay when it's raining.

Wow! That looks really clean. One thing that catches my eye though, why can't I see a vent opening on the first pic where it shows the vents. Kinda looks like there is no opening

. Also, last question...someone asked this earlier but was never answered: Does this come with anything that prevents the water from leaking into your engine?

Nevermind the vent question. Just read your other post

. Still curious about the water leak though.

Also, besides the obvious weight difference between FRP & CF...which one is more durable? I plan on painting the hood anyway.
