Good idea on the accommodating for clasps/pins. I asked him about it and he said the those provisions will be on every hood. He will get started as soon as all ten deposits are in. Once the tenth deposit is in, the project will take one month. Dates have not been set yet. We'll see if we...

It seems that most of us are in agreement on a slightly raised cowl hood with no vents. Something similar to Tekdeus' hood. All we need now are 10 100% commitments and I can get the ball rolling. He said that vents and such will be added after the main mold is done. So, I will venture...

Certainly doable. We all just need to make a decision. I would totally be happy with a hood similar to Tekdeus'.

I'm not from MD. I feel soooo out of place right now.... ;):biglaugh: **Additional info added to OP**

Well, nothing design-wise has been set in stone yet. The biggest thing is for us to decide on is how high we want the cowl to be. He said that the vents, if any, can/will be added after the 'main' mold has been constructed. If we decide on no vents, there isn't really a need to have them draw...

I am going to have a custom carbon fiber hood made. It will have a raised cowl and possibly some sort of venting. Not sure on the venting; but, I am considering it... My composite guy quoted me $950.00 for the raised cowl, with or without vents (price may vary depending on vent type). This...

I'll make it up to you guys... :)

Glad to hear that it all went well Mike. YES!!!! Boost that Mamma Jamma!!!! :)

Van: I forgot to ask what your findings were by tuning the cams. Or did they even get that far with the tune?

Aux Input 1 is monitoring Vf. Is that what you're asking?

I ran across this info a few minutes ago. Great info and helpful; but, still leaves a few questions to be answered... How to tune your A/F ratio properly Bad example: Tuner turns on water/methanol, increases timing and then removes fuel from excessively rich A/F.....THIS PROCEDURE IS NOT...

I politely differ with this statement. :) I was on the dyno this past October and gained a little bit of HP even more TQ by adjusting the intake Cam. I didn't have enough dyno time to get the Exhaust Cam adjusted. Here are some threads for reference...

Yeah, the true test would be to use an SPL Meter; but, yep...if my ears are calibrated correctly, the Tanabe was slightly louder. Thanks for the compliments by the way... :)

...but I live life a 1/4 mile at a time... ;)

Fact! Here's the infamous raised cowl hood:

^Don't be knocking your hood brutha. I like it! :) Here's CPT's Hood:

I agree that there's nothing wrong with the stock hood. If mine didn't have the dent that it has, I doubt I would be looking at changing it. I tend to like "simpler" looking hoods; but, am keeping an open mind. Thanks for posting that Fred! Last night I went through the entire Black Supra's...

Hi everyone! I am going to have a custom hood made and need some ideas so post up pics of your hoods and/or bonnets! It doesn't matter if it's a modified stock hood, a fiberglass hood, or carbon fiber hood. I want to see them all! Preferably on the car. ;) Thanks for the help! -Kenny
