I bought the two side louvers and had them added. The two back vents were just a cut, push down, weld in two small triangular sides, and clean up. Should be done in a week or so.

I've had a number of questions about this hood and one of them is the potential to reproduce it in C/F. If there is enough interest I'll look into it. I have contacts that can do it. Either send me a PM or e-mail me direct at keith@marfas.com.
I would love to have this one in C/F but I couldn't afford a one off, plus I wanted to see how it looked and functioned before spending the $$$ to make it in carbon. So far I am VERY pleased with the look and I believe the function will be just as good.
As soon as I have more pictures or updates I'll let you know.

Great work on vented hood
Looks great and can't wait to see the final look and real improvement on cooling intake air!

I was wondering if you finished the project. The reason I ask is because I wanted to know if rain or dust was getting in through the vents or if you figured out a way to prevent it from happening?

The hood was completed last Friday but I was out of town. I will pick it up the first of this week and take some new pics.
I have gotten excellent quality from Revozport with the DTM front bumper and other C/F extra's. I contacted them and they will duplicate the hood for us. Have any of you had any experience with Revozport that I should know about?? Otherwise, I will move forward talking to them about duplicating this hood. If you are interested let me know. They can do it in C/F and FRP depending on whether you want to paint it or want the C/F look and lighter weight. I'll keep you updated.

If this one will be made in FRP/carbon, it will be the best-looking one to date.

Couple more pics.
And it does let a LOT of heat out from all the louvers.
We took it through the car wash and it didn't phase it. The louvers are NOT located over any elecrtonics and running down the road the water will pass over them.

Looks Awesome!! Hands down the best looking C63 hood ive seen. That body shop did a great job.
Btw, looks much cleaner with out the hood emblem.
