Awesome! Thanks Shawn! I remembered you had the hood, and saw a couple of pictures of it. I like the looks of it from the front of the car, but the vent opening looks pretty big. Can't wait to get a final opinion in person, this weekend!

There is a post in pics/vids about carbon fiber hoods, and a guy posted a pic of this fiberglass one you're talking about. I just don't like it. But don't let me rain on your parade if you sincerely like it... I just hope you don't.

WTF is up with the hood pins? And how can i get in contact with norcal...his email apparently is not the best way. Originally posted by NorCalCoug:
I apologize profusely for the delay in responding. As I posted previously, I prefer that email is used as the best method of getting a hold of me as I do not have any hard updates to give.
At last verification with the mfgr, they had to have the factory retool their mold as they had NOT fixed the hole alignment issue for the hinge mounting.
This is obviously an issue. The hoods that had arrived (3, I believe. I left a voicemail and i'm waiting for a call back) had the incorrectly mounted hinges. That was several weeks ago. They have not notified me that the mounting holes have been fixed yet. This is an irritation to me of course, but there is little I can do other than fly to China and beat up the factory workers.
Also, there seems to be an issue with our PO Box which I will handle today. Apparently the post office decided to stop auto-charging us like they have been for the past two years. Such nice guys.  
My email contact is mike@initialvelocity.com and I WILL reply to all emails within 72 hours of receipt.
