I'll do either one or both. $150.00 per vent choice. Sound fair?


Kenny asked me about cars with oversized turbo's. Is there anyone involved that needs a little extra room for your turbo? Is it even something to worry about?

Not sure about oversized turbos, but for me I would like to keep the cowl as clear as possible without compromising the structural integurety because I may have a twin scroll supercharger sitting on top of my V8 and need all the room I can get. :)

By the way, your truck looks awesome!

Sounds fair enough to me. I wanna email Tim and see if he's alright with me 'borrowing' his hood design, maybe get some high res pictures for better ideas of measurements... Hmm, wonder if he has measurements? From what he had told me a while back, it's exactly what I want, design wise. :)

Very awesome, I certainly wouldn't argue with building an early 50's Chevy one of these days...

No offense at all suprasport; but, currently, all ten slots are filled. Should someone need to back out for some reason, we'll definitely let you know!

Stay safe! (I Salute while saying that! :))

I would like to see head light covers in CF, I know there out there now, but having them from one source will make them flow much better.

This is true... I have a bit of an odd combination for my car so far. Nose panel is in plain weave, headlight covers and hood are gonna be twill apparently, bumper is in plain, fenders (if that group buy goes through) will likely be plain as well.

I agree, I've bee talking to Kenny about a few more pieces that we hopefully can have made by Marcus. Along with the HL covers a matching CF cowl and a CF sunroof lid. Here are some pics of an OEM HL cover that I cut for a vented cover. I like retaining the smooth line rather than having the raised edge found on most CF covers. Don't know if it can be molded like this but maybe.

Lets do plain weave then amigo!

I'll be putting down my money after work. I have nothing against plain weave (in fact I'd prefer to keep it all the same if possible), but if I go plain on the hood, I'm gonna need to change out the headlight covers I picked up... Unless someone out there would want a set of twill headlight covers. I guess I could put them up for sale after I get the plain weave ones. :)

Ya whatever you want :) I'm ordering in material specific for this project. I have some 2x2 twill in stock but the roll isnt wide enough to cover the whole hood. Anything I use will have to be 60" wide. I'll get some samples of different weaves and options and you all can have your pic at what you want. I can mix and match as well (multiple dirrections in different areas). But please please please will someone order red carbon kevlar!!! :D
