1) i need to provide a deposit (got that part)
2) 1st batch (6) to be produced, delivered when? (assume i'm not on that list)
3) 2nd batch, when will those be delivered?
4) prototype, did this ever get resolved?
5) vent or not to vent, again, what was the decision here.
sorry to ask the questions over that i'm sure are covered in the entire thread, but an update would be great. in reply to this or if the thread owner would just update the first post with the latest and greatest info. i'll send the money as #12, just need someone to answer the questions for me.
cheers,
Gareth
P.S. Did we ever find out how much the OEM hood weighs? (what our weight savings would be)

The first 6 hoods should take 8-12 weeks to be made from the time we get 15 orders. Then they will be shipped. The 2nd batch is approx 2-3 weeks after that.
As far as the prototype, it will be made and perfected before everyone gets the hood. This was discussed in the thread many times already.
This is for the vented hood only.
I did post an update. But you may have skipped over it. To leave a deposit see this link.

It should be, it depends on which electical wires you mean. But we can actually position these vents anywhere on the hood. If some wanted to measure and let me know where they would think the best spot in their opinion to place the vents, i am open to some measurments.

Nice to see that this might go through! I'm quite happy to see that a nice lightweight hood is being made for probably the most subtle street racer in the world.
BTW: For the guy that said edit your first post, we can't. The ability to edit a post is gone after three minutes I believe.
Long live the king. Long live the E55!
BTW2: Guys order your mbworld decals as well by clicking the link in my signature!
Plus, if Neal did screw you guys over (he wouldn't, trust me) I'll personally kick his butt.

I think that we will benefit the most by placing the vents directly above the air boxes,thus keeping our air intake environment cool!
I cannot find the right link anywhere, anyone? There were some photos recently with the crazy six exhausts, also showing the hood. Maybe there are others?
