Anyone see this hood available still anywhere? MHP has it on amazon but their site disappeared and haven't answered any emails so I'm guessing they're finally done.

Good Morning,
I can still get them but one at a time is expensive because of freight from overseas. I'll be glad to get a quote for you. Hope you all are doing well! Be safe!

I'd be interested in the original carbon hood with the heat releases. Are we getting a buy going?

A word of warning here. (Nothing to do with Keith at all - GREAT guy). My hood had a faulty gel coat, so when it was painted the paint would be absorbed in certain areas and not in others. My shop did a fantastic job painting the hood but that look would only last a week or so before patches of CF would start showing through. It was a disaster. After throwing $4k at it I had the OE hood put back on. I have no idea what happened to the CF hood...I was so disgusted and pissed I just left it at the shop and haven't seen it or even asked about it since. I assume its gone to the dumpster.

BHAMG,
Very sorry you had trouble with your hood, I had no idea. How long ago was this?

Thank you,
Keith

Dropped in and good to see both of you "Old Timers" are still around.

EDIT: If anyone is curious.....I am almost at 25k mi on the C63. It has been a DD for the wife for the past few years and she's hooked on higher performance variants of German sedans.

Saw these last few posts and thought it was still years back . I can't believe most are still around . I still check in from time to time but never really see any of the old schoolers .

bhamg...you must have gotten a defective one cuz I know Keith always looks out for people and stands behind his products . You should have brought it up when you found the problem .

Still around, still racing, just a different platform. Got hooked on road racing a while back and haven't looked back. Made some great friends on MBWorld and will always help when/if I can.

Agreed....finally got my Ferrari 360 I always wanted and now it's twin turboed so I am having some real fun . The AMG was always great and you helped a lot with that but when the wifey got preganant , it was time to let it go . When our son finally turned 5 , it was time to search for my new toy....and bam , there it was !

Hey Keith - It was in the first couple of months after they arrived stateside. The hood looked absolutely incredible when it was first painted body color but I noticed some CF showing through during the first week. A very cool effect but totally unwanted. I was pretty shocked. My shop repainted it, polished it - again it was looking like a black mirror - and then set the hood out in the hot sun for ten days. The CF starting showing through in random patches again. It was time to cut our losses...

That Twin turbo 360 must be a world of fun. How much power does it make.

Not crazy amounts but it's right at 560whp . Although 560 in this car is night and day from the 650 of my old C63

If he does the H&C package/exhaust and tune its incredible. Mine dyno'd 710 at the wheels with this package and it makes a HUGE difference in the power band and drive ability from stock. He will love it!!
