Mintblue CF hood
Ok peeps i am sending off my OEM hood to Gemini CF composites to get a CF hood done for our 8s. Well for those of you that dont know about Gemini, theyre a very reputatble company here and they make amazing CF hoods which they sell here in Canada and distibute in the US. Aside from the normal CF hoods they also have a special V-weave design for their CF hoods and they also make CF kelvar hoods to your likings of orange, yellow, silver, blue...
Im not affiliated with them im just donating my hood to them to make a mold...they would like to know if you people would like an OEM style CF hood or a Mintblue ram air style that i suggested.
Heres the Mintblue one:
So let me know what you guys want and if i can get 8 ppl to be serious about this they can start production right away.
Heres their website if you want to take a look.

Most certainly they can.
But they have a couple projects on their hands right now so if there isnt 8 deposits they wouldnt start on the 8's hoods until 2 months later
