Sorry folks, I'm finally available again, so I'll be glad to help answer questions.

1. The price goes up once we receive the prototypes. The MSRP of the hood is higher than the $425 group buy price, and we'll announce it once we get the prototype in for fitment testing.

2. We will not be able to offer a fiberglass option unless people want to start an entirely new group buy, and I'm not sure what the cost difference is going to be in any case. I'd have to find out but I don't expect it to be tremendous since we're getting the carbon fiber for a good price anyway considering the low run number of the hoods.

3. Yes, it does look straight gangsta, yo. If Snoop dee-oh-double-gizzle had a Contour, he'd be pimpin' this ish on his ride, yo.
