Just finished patterning out the design tonight. We should have molds made in the next couple weeks.

Let us know what you guys think!

Enjoy!

Looks like a cross between a high tech custom concepts hood and MCM hood.

Is there enough clearance for the magnuson superchargers? (TVS2300, MP122, etc)

Looks good.

Need to see it on a car though.

You do great work.

That looks pretty frikin cool.

I can't tell from the pics but does the leading edges of the vents follow the angles of the leading edge of the hood? If they don't(they appear to go straight across) I think it would look best if they did. Maybe you could post a top view or a pic with the hood standing vertically.

I think it looks pretty nice. I like the low profile hoods that don't make N/A cars look like they have a supercharger or like drag cars from the 60s

I assume that the louvers will be open (?) Rain protection?

Looks like nice work. Welcome to the Corvette!

Can the vents on the hood ever be done without the raised border around them? Like this:

Nice hood.You had a recent thread asking us for ideas on "body parts" opinions/ideas. Any thought on a design to replace the OEM hatch/rear glass units with a design that is reminiscent to the C5 FRC or anything with more body less glass work as in the current design. Please look up the Callaway C16 as an example.

I am waiting for a response from our vendor. The clearance on this hood is the same as a OEM hood. So if it wont clear an oem hood it wont clear this hood.

Honestly.. We can make anything.. It's just getting enough people to get together on a group buy to make it into reality.. Molds and tooling are expensive so figure around 10-20 people depending on what needs building is what it would take to bring a concept into reality.

Do me and yourself a favor and start a thread regarding an aftermaket rear hatch /rear glass assembly to check desirability with a rough idea of cost.Here's an idea I pulled off the internet

- Correct the louvers will be cut open.
- We did a raised bezel around the vents so that the louvers didnt go any lower into the engine bay.
- The price on the hood will start @950. Presale will be 750. Basically we are going to discount our parts heavily to get our company known to the corvette community so everyone can see our quality.
