I think I'll wait for a pro stock hood to come out as it would be just as outlandish as those oversize vents. It almost looks like someone took a saber saw and cut the stock hood then bent the vents down. Huummm.....................

Why pretend you have a mean engine with various turbos on it and you need these big bloody vents all over the hood so the poor turbos can breath easier? Its nonsense. Its fake and at the end of the day, other sports car owners will laugh at you since underneath all that fake stupidity your still a car that can beat by G35, 350Z, STI, Evo, Vette, Mustang, Z28, Transam, any porsche, etc... Why don't you put an 8 foot high rear spoiler on it and a parachute while your at it.!
The car is beautiful as it is. Those who know of it will respect you for your choice, because its a great package. Put all this nonsense on it and you'll probably add a lot more weight, worsen your coeficient of drag (aerodynamics), and proably have less control at high speeds. Once you start try to make your 8 look much faster than it is, thats when people will start to lose respect for you and your car. If you added twin turbos and now the engine needs to breathe better so you buy this hood, then when/if people start laughing at you , then you show/smoke them so they know you are for real!

Cortc, please have this hood made, when I get the greddy turbo kit it would be a nice addition for the much needed breathing of the rotary and the turbo, and it looks hot. Can it be made in red/kevlar carbon fiber?
I'm down for the group buy, just need about 1.5 months to get the money up but I could make a deposit for now if you like.

Perhaps it would help if you made another photoshop pic, perhaps in several angles to give people an even better idea of what the hood will look like on an 8. The price you are asking for the hood is reasonable considering the materials you will be using.
I make aftermarket parts like hoods and such and I know the challenges involved in making a quality product (design, build, etc). It's obvious that a lot of effort is being made to make this hood and I hope you guys get it off the ground. I look forward to seeing the finished product.

After the CF Dash POD GB I will not be doing any other GBs it is simply not worth the hassle, mostly due to individuals with no faith or patience...

Lol... no faith or patience eh? (yeah I'm Canadian)
Amazing to call in to question their faith and patience when you were so disrespectful of their time, money and FAITH.
Get a clue and next time respond within a month of a post (when you initiated the GB)
