Default 3" cowl hood for V1

Guys, I spoke with Jimmy at extreme composites about building a V1 hood with a tall enough cowl to clear a V2 supercharger. He said that if he can get 15 confirmed orders with a initial deposit of $100 he would produce a cowl hood for our cars. I think they would look pretty sick with a taller cowl than the other extreme composites hood that they already make. Would there be any takers?

I attached pics of 2 cars with a similar hood with what I was thinking for the V1.

Forgot to mention that the total cost per hood is $750 just like the hood they already make

Thats a good deal for a basically custom hood. Tough part is committing to a hood no one has seen on a car before.

Yeah I thought about just seeing if anyone was even interested in that large of a cowl. if so I could possibly have them work up a photoshop of what it would look like and then go from there.

I think the cowl will need to keep the factory body lines a bit. Id like to see something slick but not to bulky
