shipping i have no idea. I'm not the one shipping. that would be Marc. I am, however, more than willing to receive a pm with a zip code to pass along to Marc.

 

[Familia323]

I wont be able to spend money until after march..

But Im not asking for anyone to wait for me by any means, thats a long time to wait.

 

[niv]

should i ask about a deposit option for those who still want in on a group price?

(the other option is hope that enough peeps sign up for a hood that by the time march comes they'll just be getting to your hood )

honestly though if i get 15 people on this i'll be happy.

 

[JCell]

i think u will get way more than 15 people

Yeah, if you could ask about the deposit thing that would be great. Oh! And did you find anything out about the silver weave color yet?

 

[niv]

no, not yet... i haven't seen or talked to Marc since just b4 importfest. This week is hella busy for me.. so it may have to wait till friday.

 

[niv]

2. re: silver weave - that's the no feeling right now.

[Pretzellogic]

oh, and yes, it clears the highboost orig intake

My stock hood won't do this.

 

[niv]

specially made.... it was close.. and we had to mod the prototype at first.. but it fits like a glove.


what can i say. looks AND function... *gasp* lolz

rubicon's been keeping an eye on the underhood temps.. i can't wait to hear what he's got to say on it.

 

[slug420]

It answers my Q's ..it's just that I have an Aem short ram air intake that would sit rite where the vents are.....

My stock hood won't do this.

My Hiboost intake was having problems clearing the stock hood also ... It was rubbing was on the passenger side just a little bit. What i found with this hood is that it isn't as thick as the stock hood and it will clear the piping with about a quarter inch of spacing.

rubicon's been keeping an eye on the underhood temps.. i can't wait to hear what he's got to say on it.

With this hood the under hood temperature is astonishing. The hiboost kit doesn't have a cold air intake, so the under hood temperature was important to me. Before the hood, the temperature of the air just before the throttle body would be around 10 or 12C above the outside temperature. With this hood the intake temperature is only a few degrees warmer. Which is great news. The only problem i'm worried about is that the intake air is soo cold i'm afraid i might be leaning out a little bit (laugh).

If anyone was wondering how i got these readings it was from the haltech unit where i can monitor the engine stats.

If you have any questions about the hood please feel free to post up or PM Niv or me and i'm we will try to answer it as best as we can. If not we can take it up with Gemini.

10-12 above outside temp before and now is only 1-2 above? sweet.
