Default Custom Hoods and Accessories

Ok I am gauging interest here, I do custom fabrication, hoods, ground effects, spoilers, interior panels, etc... anything and everything, who on this board would be interested in getting something custom done, and what are you looking for?
I can do fiberglass, carbon fiber, and some metal workings depending on the work.

Anyways lets just hear what you guys want

I have always wondered if someone could do the C5 kind of hood just a bit larger of a cowl, you know the one that has like a line down the middle. I am sure i could not afford it but its just something i kind of like as far as ideas go, and the car it was for was a camaro

no problems, and no this is just my new name on here, I am also on LS1.com under AlpineTA. This is just to gauge interest really, not promoting a business just checking to see if it would be worth my while.

I have background in custom car audio, and have been doing body work for over a year now for custom fabrication.

Does anyone have a full shot of that camaro, so I can look at what else there is to fabricate? The hood and the front bumper are no problem from what I can see, and I need a good picture of the pird of prey trans am as well. Your help is appreciated.

OH YEAH, the Pird Of Prey Body kit is the Baddest-*** Body Kit EVER!

I called the company that put it together, got the name of the place that made the kit, called them for pricing info.

they said the kit would be 1500, if they ever produced, which they did not!

Here it is...Bird of Prey

There are other pics out there too, just do a search for it!

What could you do a body kit like that for???

Also, could you post some pics of your work?

Could you do a carbon fiber interior kit like you could buy for the Trans Am a few years back. You'll have to do a search for that one, on here, should be an easy find!

If you do Carbon Fiber, you could do a Carbon Fiber Ram Air hood.....

I think that would be awesome...

no problem guys I am finishing up a 4 port extractor hood as we speak, and I am designing the flared fenders and front bumper off the camaro shown above. I also have a couple people wanting me to do the same thing for firebirds, and some custom side skirts, all pics will be taken and posted up.

Thanks for the pics of the bird of prey

If somebody would make a decent looking hood for a firebird, that has great quality it would be great.
