WOW! That hood really compliments the entire theme of the car, and looks great with the DTM bumper. This style reminds me of the Vorsteiner hoods for the M3/M5. I always thought they should have made one for the C63 but this custom job looks top notch.

I have been in contact with Revozport and they are interested in duplicating this hood for us. Are any of you intersted in duplicating this hood in C/F or FRP for painting? I already have two people that want a C/F version.

1st this hood looks realy good and cant wait ti see it at MIR.
How would this work with Rain and snow or will it be just for racing? And what would the price be for CF.

The hood has already been through a car wash, with no issues. The vents are not inline with any electronics or such. As far as snow goes..... thats up to you guys to check...
Gotta love Florida. J/K, but I don't see any issues with snow either.

There was. IIRC to paraphrase:
"I ran afoul of the GB policy so they put me on probation."
"I'll apply for a GB through MBW."
"Hopefully it'll happen..."
"I may form an LLC and develop some small-volume cool parts that enthusiasts want."
"Four of us are still in the vented hood *GB*."
Sorry Dads if I screwed that up because I just read it once but in closing I'll urge those of you on the fence to put your name in...I really get the feeling for this item it's a one-shot thing. Shoot him a PM...hopefully MBW isn't censoring those too.

Yes there was.
The above is pretty close to what was posted.
Also, I think a post was deleted with the pricing for the CF hood
and FRP hood.

My carbon fiber hood does just fine with the stock struts and its far lighter than anything out there. Unlike the C/F trunk lid that will smack you in the face with the springs in the stock holes. Just move the springs down a hole or two. There are multiple holes so just pick one. I'll advise about the louvered hood as soon as I can.
