Hood is already pre-cut with the vents in it if that is what you are asking, if anyone is looking for OEM CF hood you can PM me or Red6 on that, but this GB is for the Vented CF or FRP Hood

Would it be too much to ask someone someday make a hood for the stillen SC? I dont like the stillen hood at all. :(

Seconded. Stops me from getting a Stillen SC.
Looks like the Stillen Cowl would not fit on this because the vents are too close to the center.

The fitment is OEM from the sample above.

The hood uses the OEM factory latch and brackets.

Im putting you on the list.

Sorry but I have no idea what water guards actually look like. Any examples or mold pics? Trying to figure out if going CF with these things are even worth it.

Thanks!

No pics of them yet, they go under the hood to block off some of the vent, you would hardly see it, its there to stop the water for when it rains really hard :)

In that case...FRP it is :icon38:.

Will it have a grill of some sort on the vent openings like some of the other aftermarket hoods or is this something we install ourselves? Sorry, this would be my very first aftermarket hood.

How long will this Group Buy last?? One of those pictures of kelvar looks like solid black, is that true?? If so, is it more black than the Carbon Fiber hood??

first one is reg CF... didn't label it correctly when i posted it :)

GB will last for a little, more depends on the demand, more people n faster we get them the better and I will than see about getting a couple extra made at the low GB price if we get enough response to this

You would add that, but the water guard will be something like that also when you want it on.

$140 for S+H....Due to large size? That's more than 130lbs of wheels and tires.:)
