WOW - that looks GREAT!

As far as copying - I thought that was the sincerest form of flattery?? But these days, people get ____ed off about it. Stoopid thing to get the panties bunched up over i think.

Damn.. the more i look at it, the more i like it.

So what was your cost on this?

Man that hood is sweet! good job putting it together, seems to fit perfect. Now the BIG question is who's gonna replicate and produce a Carbon Fiber one.....maybe bBist?

the scrap hood may be cheap, like $100-$200, but then you gotta put the effort into it... That's why things cost money...

you think it will be easy to manufacture a carbon fiber hood, like this one, by yourself?
