Too early for hoods just yet...A couple of companies are working on some, but others are putting that last, just performance mods (glare)

 

[patrarch]

I see. So what companies are working on them?

that looks like a trans am hood, UGLY

I personally like that hood. Gives it the aggressive look in my opinion. I know it will be VERY functional as well. Quick question though- when you're in a rain storm with the modified hood, the rain wont hurt the TMIC correct?

My guess would be no, it may actually help cool the TMIC but I don't really know. Could rain be the poor man's spray kit?

I was thinking the rain would help it since it's mainly cool air and FMICs do have this approach seeing as it's obviously in the front, just waiting to be bashed.

Rain: Increased Power + Reduced Traction = Major Fun!

Ouch.. I didnt think it was that much. The price in japan comes to like 500 bucks... thats a 600 profit for corksport and a shipping fee on top of that.

I might have to wait and see what comes out local... ie- this side of the water.

IC is Aluminum, it won't oxidize... but Iw ouldn't make a habit out of letting the poor thing sit in moisture.

Think about how much it costs Corksport to ship it overseas here. It cost $200+ to ship a hood inside the U.S. They must be getting killed with the overseas shipping prices. I doubt they're making that much money.

When you buy in bulk things are a lot cheaper. They also do freight boat shipments which are even cheaper. Corksport imports more than just MS3 hoods.
