Someone tell me what those vents are for? Im seriously considering making a fiberglass TII hood. Now I need to take a good look at one and someone needs to have one I can mold from- in excellent condition of course.

Maybe Ill just surprise people, you know what they say about opinions, lol. If people want to buy one they will, and if they dont, oh well. I prefer more subtle design elements, ones that never go out of style, but thats just me. And as for kevlar- there would be zero purpose in making it out of Kevlar, its only a hood, this would be fiberglass matting but made with a high strength epoxy resin instead of polyester resin so it wont be as prone to print-thru. One can make as elaborate hood as they want, but how many would I sell to make my efforts worthwhile? So im going for a stock looking hood so it wont look stupid on a car that isnt fast, that doesnt have any other body modifications, and so I can keep the cost at a target of about $400 or so.

Who makes it? How much would you be willing to pay?
