guaging interest on custom CF hoods....

[dvtib]

aight man start that up and Also make a poll.... see what kind of style people would like... I also got all the information on how much and I got my old sponsors to ship the hoods out for me... hopefully I can full fill this on my part. Creative ideas on this hood are hard since the way it's shaped and all...

 

[dvtib]

aight I came up with a few ideas and I'll start a new topic to see what ones you guys like.... I'll do it around 2 eastern time since I have class right now... putting race calipers and rotors on the 3 right now....

Just an idea: has anyone ever seen the hood on a Pugeot 206? I always liked that style, nothing over the top, but with vents to dissipate heat. Some design beneficial for a short ram intake would be worth looking at too.

 

[curacer1]

eh. i am not big on stuff that will be too flashy, but that isn't flashy enough

 

[dvtib]

I'm almost done with the ideas but yea that is a good design...

I gotta go w/ curacer....like I said from the start...I dont want over the top, but I do want it to be noticeably more agressive than the OEM hood...that peugot is nice...but way too tame for my taste...

 

[Jake1]

a design similar to the "rotary bulge" of the RX-8s hood would be cool too, or maybe a cutout of that same design so it could be used to dissipate some heat. Let's see some pics!

 

[curacer1]

nah, i was thinking more like an evo hood or something like the pic of the tiburon hood earlier in the forum. something that isn't horribly flashy, but not weak.

Exactly, a step down from the EVO & tib hood we say would be nice...of course it has to go well with the body lines and overall look of the rest of the car...

I thought we were gonna have pics a couple days ago at 2pm?? I bet he's working up something reeeeeeel sweeeeet!!!!

Out of curiousity, if this design is a go and we want in...how long you think it'll take to take it from paper, to mold, to finished product?

the tiburon took me about 12 weekss from beginning to first made... also I just finished building my new computer. I am going to do them on photoshop instead of ms paint... so give me a bit I have about 5 styles I thought would work

Awesome, I(and others) are hanging on the edge of our seats....
