Decisions, decisions. This is the fun part.

I really think these hoods will be making a bold statement. Even though the OEM hood has really nice lines, we all know that the C63, with it's undercover, beastly personality, is just asking for a hood like this.

Plus, I can't wait to see if my IAT's drop. Either way, heat is almost always an enemy, so combating it is paramount.

Hey Mo,
Do you really think the "E63" crowd would go for a hood like this?

Unfortunately not.... However I would definitely go for it The E63 hood and E55 hood are the same, so it maybe worth a try to post this up in the E55/E63 section to gauge interest.

By the way, you may want to double check with gyrex whether he still wants FRP or Carbon Fiber.... based on his comment earlier, he may switch to Carbon Fiber.

Would the pricing change if you got to 15 or 20? I'm seriously considering the c/f.

Honestly,
I had planned to but I threw in the 10% early needing to push it to 10. I was going to offer a 5% discount at 15 and 10% at 20 but I let the 10% go early. The freight is the big challenge and I'm eating that part to the USA.

Thank you guys!!

PS: DHL picked up my hood today in route to China. Should be there the end of next week. I will keep you posted.

That is exactly what I am doing and I may leave the area from the center vents back to the cowl in raw c/f as well. Now if I can just find a supplier for the DTM bumper with the c/f lip.

If anyone already has the previous CF vented hood, and would like to get this new one, I might be interested in taking your old hood off your hands. PM me with location and price.

Man my wife hates me doing this, but K please upgrade my order from RFP to Carbon Fiber. Might as well keep with my CF trend on mods.
