Default New Katech Hood, Splitter, Spoiler in the works

Hello everyone,

There has been some casual talk here and there about a few new products that we are working on. I would like to formally announce that we are working on developing a new hood, splitter, and spoiler for C6 Corvettes. We are not yet releasing design features of any of the products. I will however say that everything will be race inspired but primarily designed for the street. Features will be functional as well as aesthetic. I have often been asked if the designs will look like GM or Pratt & Miller products. The answer to that is no. Our products will be unique in design as not to compete or conflict with our friends at Pratt & Miller or GM. Pricing is designed to be competitive with what is on the market now. We feel that we have some innovative ideas that will bring another option to the Corvette market that maybe you haven't thought of before. We didn't want to duplicate anybody's product, we want to be different. We plan to stock these products on our shelf and our dealer's shelves for immediate shipment. No special ordering will be required. And of course, our highest product quality standards will be implemented on these products.


HOOD
Material: Fiberglass
Weight: Near stock
Fits: 2005-2009 C6, Z06
Availability: Spring 2008


SPLITTER
Material: Carbon Fiber
Fits: 2006-2009 Z06
Availability: Summer 2008


SPOILER
Material: Carbon Fiber
Fits: 2005-2009 C6, Z06
Availability: Spring 2008


We look forward to serving you with these products later in the year. We hope that you share our opinions on the design elements.


Sincerely,

what part of spring are you going to have the hood, or more importantly, when can I see a picture of it? I was getting ready to order the MDMC hood, but I can wait to see one more option if its not more than a month or two.

I was purposely vague in the availability times because it is too early to tell. We will post pictures on Corvette Forum as soon as they are available.

I will patiently wait as long as I can! I've had my carravaggio front bumper here for about a month and a half now.

how about making these items in fiberglass as opposed to carbon fiber to keep cost down, and also make them for non Z06s. I can't wait to see them.

Thanks
