Hey Paul,

What do you mean "the molds are being tweaked" & how is this different from what I just recieved from you? Also, any updates on the water guards?

Thanks!

Thanks!
The fitment of the JGTC fiberglass and the CF hoods are fine.

The CF mold are being tweaked only because the CF is coming out a little wavy around the vents .

Im a perfectionist and im helping with quality control on this project.

The water guards are still being worked on don't worry .

In the meantime Im going to run the fiberglass hood.

Nice! Thanks for the update Paul .

Please post pics when you get your fiberglass hood installed. I'm still waiting for the rest of my kit before I paint & install my hood so please stand by .

I got a regular CF hood and I want it darker but keep the look of the cf like you did. Is it possible to make it darker or look like yours but not red?

+1 Looks like it would look perfect on a brickyard for sure! Either way, they did a great job with the paint.

Well pics dont do it justice plus the camera makes the Redline look like orange.

Its not for everybody but the looks alot better then a CF hood that was yellowing anyhow .
