Our Red/Red is just a shade darker than the dodge SRT-4 red. I think this red is very close to the Z's

Congrats! Glad that we're getting more vendors on board. I always have ideas so let me know if you need any .

BTW...I know you have a silver that matches the Chrome Silver Z's but do you have a darker version that matches with the Silverstone?Also, if you plan on moving forward with the engine panels, it would be good to also get a matching base panel for the battery/fluid covers. What's the status on the Do-Luck style hood I mentioned earlier? Are you guys planning on persuing this?

I have a silver/black that would look cool with the darker silver. Here are some pics:





We will start on the engine panels. Which do you guys like more the radiator panel or the engine cover?

We have the oem style hood now. I would have to buy the do-luck hood and make a mold this take time and $$. I need to see the reaction to our oem hoods first.

Let me know what you think.

$700 is still fairly high considering the only difference is a slightly bulged center piece & I'm not sure if buyers are willing to pay that much for a simple looking hood but it's definitely better than paying $1200. Taking the current pricing of the more complex hoods such as with vents, I'd say around $600 will be more reasonable.

Here's the piece I was talking about when I was referring to the base of the battery/fluid covers. Also, not sure how much interest is out there to change the panels where the wiper blades are so I'll just throw that out in the air & see what people think.

Sure, we want to make many things for the Z. Hoods, engine bay parts, interior parts, front lips etc. Keep the ideas comming!

I will see what I can do, That is just a first guess. I will shoot for the $600 or less range.

You bet. I have a lemans, but i think i'm partial to the regular cf than the orange. A bronze weave would be interesting though. (Kinda like your silver weave on the black cf).

Raising the prices already?? A couple days ago on your 1st post you listed black OEM CF at $300...now $350?? And color OEM CF at $375 (including silver)...now $525 (as posted above)?? Besides the fact that there's been considerable interest here for your product, care to explain? Just curious before committing to deal with you for a black OEM CF hood......
