Fail At What???how so? What Would you do?

I like everything about it. Except the the heat extractors and the top scoops. If you had one with just the nostrils like that I would buy it. In fact I've been looking for a hood for a while and that's what I think I've been looking for. Would be a good alternative to the Raptor.

When I got my Raptor hood, I actually expected the heat extractors to be on the sides, rather than on the back of hood. I think it would be awesome to have them in both spots.

There's a lot of good comments (positive and negative) in this thread. That wasn't one of them. I actually do appreciate the feedback, but being biased, the hood turned out just how I envisioned it.

Id like to see this hood design applied to the camaro hood

Unlike everyone else, I'd actually like to see it without the side heat extractors and only the ones on the scoops

Not a huge fan as it sits though.

I notice a resemblace with the superhawk the most... Looks like a hawk... Was this just coincidence... Oh and I ******* love this hood! It's growing on me more and more. I hope it stays as is and you move forward with the idea!

I agree.
And we enjoy hearing both - both are needed to create a product. See what people's likes and dislikes are with the product.
Not everyone is going to like the product, we realize this...just please give us some good constructive criticism and we'll keep it all in mind when designing the hood

Some guys have asked about price range of the hood. To be honest, we have not figured that out just yet. But I can see it being comparable to our WS9 style hoods - right around that ballpark.

Also, some have asked for pics of the back of the extractors...once the hood is a little further along...I'll work on getting those for you guys.

And in regards to the few people asking about the "dividers" that separate the hood from the nose.
These dividers have been completely removed on this hood. The hood will sit flush with the bumper - so the bumper is the piece that you see through the nostril. I Think people thought there was a separator from the darkness of the picture and The white markings on the hood are notations we added to let us know where to make some more adjustments/trimming prior to releasing it.

Here are some more pics of the front of the hood:





Thanks very much for everyone's great comments!!!
Please keep em coming!

Will this be offered with/without the FIREHAWK extractors? They make the hood look very busy.

Or at the very least, would someone be able to photoshop that?

Are the "nostril's" left closed or do you guys open them up after your done?

That hood looks sick.. I love it.

All of the openinings angle downwards towards the midline. On the nostrils, it angles towards the center and the side heat extractors as well. I believe the straight line across the hood is aesthetically killing the look. If you were to angle the center heat extractors in the same respect as the other openings, it would flow much better.

Other than that, the hood looks great.

This hood is really growing on me, the above picture of just the hood looks great.

i agree with this statement if the center heat extractors where not straight across the hood it would look better

A member on a local forum mentioned how the vents resemble an 03/04 cobra hood... Sooo true lol

As requested...here's a photoshop of how the vents would appear if they were angled differently.



We do not have plans to change the angle of the scoops on top of the nostrils...but thought we'd put the picture up for comparison.

It's looking better! Jus' round out the openings some more.

The pic reminds me of the mask of the Celtic Predator:

EXACTLY, just round it out more. It's almost there. just needs a little more refinement and you'll have a winner

Man that hood is pretty raw!! I like the way it sits except for some of the minor flaws, but I know it's not finished yet. Man!! makes me regret getting the evilbay superhawk hood.. Would definitely have picked this one up instead.
