Underside looks real good, thats the hard part about the hood. They are going to glass the metal in for the hinge right?

 

cool.

 

Yep. They will glass in the aluminum stock that we cut to fit. It is predrilled already. Then we will tap it after tha glass is laid so that the threads don't fill with resin and the fit is just as we want it

 

N/A hoods are done and I have one on my car as I type. I will take pictures of it in the sunlight today and post them when I get home...



This thing is absolutely BITCHIN!

 

are you home yet??????

 

They really turned out well. The one that I have (pictured) is thicker in the fiberglass framing than we wanted, so he shaved that one down on the edges to have the correct thickness with the CF skin on top to match the stock hood. The result is mine weighs more than the others will. Mine only weighs 19lbs and it is a heavy one The finish it very nice. If you want it to look like a mirror finish, you will need to either wetsand it with some 1200+grit paper and buff it with some rubbing compound or rough it up with some 400 grit paper and take it to an autoshop and have them clearcoat it. The clearcoating will have the best results and we got 3 different quotes from local paint shops of $35, $40 and $45.



The group buy for these will go until December the 6th to allow everyone that wants to get into it a chance to do so. On December 7th, the price goes up to the regular price. Shipping costs should be narrowed down by the end of the week, and we are still estimating it to be around $100. Info will be on our website if you have any questions or need pricing info or whatever.



Enjoy

 

Davey boy, I'm practically speechless. :bigok:



Again, you da man! I'll be ordering mine as soon as I sell my TII hood and my aluminum NA hood. Anyone want them?

Something I forgot to mention



We are also numbering these hoods. If we decide later to stop production for some reason (which we don't forsee) then they would be a colectors piece



The placks will be on the bottom of the hood right next to where the hood latch is. They are small aluminum pieces 1"X3" that have our website name and the production number of your hood. The N/A and TII hoods will have their own numbers. Like there will be a 0001 N/a and TII hood. I get the 0001's of course

 

I want TII #0007! lol cant wait till I can order a TII hood!
