How about building your own custom hood, like this one?

Man, I don't know if I have that much ambition anymore.

This is what I'm trying to go over the top of. It may not be possible of course. I may have to cut and be happy. I went into this project knowing it's not common so I get what ever comes my way lol.

That really sticks up there, I didn't think it would be that tall haha. Have you looked into shorter motor mounts to help bring it down a tad? Maybe it's the angle, but it looks like you're going to need a pretty decent sized cowl hood to clear that.

Great job on the blower install by the way. Very clean looking!

Just the latest note, we did bring back our Type-TD carbon fiber hood into production this year! And as expected, they all sold out completely. We also have the Type-TM style AND both are available in fiberglass. You can see these now on our website for more information.

@Anderson Composites

Are the TM-style hoods in CF and/or Fiberglass currently available in stock now? The notes on your website says to call but can you please answer here or via PM?

We have the Type TM in carbon fiber, on schedule for production and should have some available estimated second week of May. We suggest you place an order now with one of our authorized dealers. These will sell out again. Thanks!

What is the difference in weight between your CF add fiberglass hoods? I see one CF hood is listed at 27 lbs. thx

Unfortunately, I do not have an exact product weight for the fiberglass version, but we have shipping weight noted as being one pound heavier than the carbon fiber version. The carbon fiber and fiberglass hood would ship in the same size box.

Reviving this.

Rudy Arauz on FB C5 Modified is doing free shipping from Mesa AZ for some ACP Type-TDs in stock. These look to be possibly a DRM replica?

It appears to be sold via Vivid Racing.
