Sorry guys i havent been replying to this thread.... just came back from my camping trip :D
Yes they do come in red kevlar/CF.
and they are going to keep the everything the stock hood has... and they are going to cut some vents along the depression of the rotor shaped scoop.

Finally got my CF hood today!! :D
Perfect fitment, beautiful weave pattern.....WOW
Mr.Ed you are up next... you blue kevlar hood is in the works
( you are going to have different vents than me i was told ;P)
the vent ( after starting up the car and driving for awhile i had my hand over the vent and tons and tons and tons of hot air rushes out of there.... i guess it works and serves its purpose :D)
check out the fitment
check out the fitment again
I didnt want a CF hood that has big vents and such to jump out at ppl... so this design really suits me... the vent is functional.....its nothing too exagerating....did i mention i love it? :D

Are they capable of doing any different kind of vents?
Red/Kevlar with SCOOT style vents would be a MUST HAVE for me.
Or, are they only entertaining the vent idea along the rotor indentation?
Thanks!

BIU, the hood looks BAD ***! i talked to marc and they are going to try and put a little more venting throughout the rotor shape on mine. that is if the hood will support it ok. i ordered mine with blue kevlar so i can't wait to see it on the car!!! i'll post pics!

NICE! :D
Which style of vents are you going for?
Kevlar? Regular weave? V-Weave?
On a sidenote.... the fibreglass smell from my hood has just gone away WooHOO no more feeling like driving in a FBglass shop anymore :D
