CF Hood Vent Group Buy.......
Hey all I found a company to make me a hood vent in carbon fiber I have to send them mine and they will make me one. Would anyone else be interested in one? Maybe I can get a really good deal if we get 5 or 10 or some thing.....
It takes a little while to email back and forth with them cause they are in china.

I have one of their rear spoiler lips on my car and it fit fine. Some people talk about buying expensive ones in the U.S and have to glue , tape and heat them up just to make them fit. I put mine on with the tape provided and it fit fine. So that says some thing about the company.......

Thats cool. I just get worried out some products coming from China. It can be very hit or miss. Some of the carbon I've seen out of China yellows fast.
Recently I bought a Chinese motor for my R/C airplane. It died on the first flight about 200ft in the air.. Needless to say My plane is now dead too. lol

nope thats why I would have to send them my vent so they would make one.
but there is a link to the grill they make and you can look at their products and feedback.

I am digging the grill, may have to pick up one of those. What would the weight savings be on the hood? That would be the only reason for me to purchase as I generally do not like different colored panels on my car.

TO BE CLEAR. This is for the vent on the hood that is body color and I would be having one made in carbon. ITS NOT A NEW HOOD OR RAM AIR. its just a replacement for the vent you already have.
