They did say the Caravaggio blower hood was of excellent quality and had to do very little prep to it.

Btw, I had Stance coilovers on my 94 RX7 and they were phenomenal. I can't imagine they'd be much different on a C5Z

This is the "composite" blower hood. This is how it came finished to me. The light yellow colored surfaces are some composite material and this is their natural color. I had the body shop paint the frame and leave the composite material natural.

Interesting, it looked like some sort of pad. My blower hood is fiberglass. I am having it painted both sides but was curious as to yours. Thanks.

That calcualtes to be an approx 56mm offset front and 35mm offset rear. Are you having to run any spacer in the rear for clearance of the suspension etc?

Love that blower hood. A local guy here in GR has it and I think it matches the other curves of the C5 perfect. Is there a Maggie in the future?

Love to check it out sometime! I see a few black verts running around the Avon area where I live, but I don't think I've seen yours. Do you frequent any of the shows in the Avon/Plainfield area?

It does but with the OP running a 12.5 wide rear wheel with a 345 tire I was curious if he had any clearance problems. It seems he is not having any issues.

I don't really go to any shows, I live up in the Noblesville/Westfield area. Maybe our paths will cross cruising

So far so good but really have not driven the car that much yet. Stance support is excellent!
