Potential Scammer!
O.E. Tuning - thanks for clarifying your product in regards to the latch mechanism etc.
We've seen some other CF hoods which actually use FRP bonded with the hood @ 90 degrees with a cut-out used as a latch. Being that your photos of your hoods didn't exactly show the latch itself, that's the reason why we said it perhaps could be made in that similar fashion.
You may have interpreted our statement incorectly in regards to the structural re-inforcement, as this energy will dissipate through the hood causing it to shatter. We never said it would absorb this energy and fold like aluminum or a conventional metal hood.
Our "V-weave" hood actually uses more material as it's positioned in a fashion such that the other pieces cannot be re-used for hoods and/or other pieces. We never mentioned a performance benefit associated with this, as it's more a fashion statement then anything else.
