All I can say is WOW! Those look awesome. I think I'll have to stick with the unvented hood, though. I really like the vented hood, but I don't have the go to back up that show right now! Hehe!

So it would be $600 shipped for a Silver Carbon Fiber hood with the vent ($100 extra for silver and $100 for the vent)? I think that just blew out the budget.  Why can't they all just be vented and save everyone $100 buy having one mold? IMHO a stock carbon fiber hood isn't worth the trouble, and if you know anything about the Duratec Contour, it gets hella warm under the hood, so any reduction in underhood temps would help, especially in my case with my heat emitting turbo under there.

I know what you mean Stazi about both the money and the heat in our cars. Just because our cars aren't turboed nobody believes me about the heat. I'm having oil related issues due to heat.
As far as pricing goes I will beat up my supplier and see what I can drum up. I must admit after seeing the invader style hood I do like it a lot! I really like to keep people's options open as far as color and style.
I will try to work my magic and get some better pricing, only becuase I love you all!

I definitely need the go!! This car used to be quite peppy, but after driving it for a year it seems so slow now.
The more I look at the invader hood the more I like it, but I just can't afford to go that high. I'm currently on the GB for the Brullen cat-back system and I would also like the Velox 8s! I would be willing to vote for the invader mold if it would cut down the cost!

Well then I need to check with my supplier to see if it's cheaper with the one mold (invader) or not. I also need to know from people here if they prefer the stock or invader style. All I know is that I need 15 people.

You don't need 300hp to warrant that hood. It's all very functional regardless of the tune of your car.

I am wanting to know what the weight savings is. Otherwise, I vote for the invader. And I am in, if we can get the price down with one mold.

I have a feeling less hood (invader/less material) less weight as compared to the stock (more material).
