For those that don't know, CF does not dent and it CAN be painted!
Looks like we are 4-6 weeks off, I will need a 50% deposit from everyone who wants one first. I will post up some more info later.

Any chance of having the new hood made with out all the space in the nostrils. Like having it made as a direct ram air (like the BG Ram Air Mod). With all the baffles removed there is a lot of spots that block the air coming into the engine. It would be nice if that was all a straight shot to the air box.
Just a idea, since they have to make the mold anyhow.

That would be great. I was planning on taking my stock hood to a body shop to do this. It would be awsome if it was already done.

Re: Gathering interest on bolt-on CF WS6 hood...
I am definately in... I love the idea of having the BG mod molded into the hood... Bolt on/ Pin on baby... Does the under neath look the same as factory. If so it should be pretty study and not flimsy.

Re: Gathering interest on bolt-on CF WS6 hood...
Yes, defintaely have it molded after a WS6 hood with the BG kit installed. We would still need a gasket to seal it to the airbox though. Will carbon fiber hold up to drilling? What about having it molded so there are no nostril screens? That way there wouldn't be little tabs there to block air/look bad.
I'm definately in. Let us know about a deposit.

Added Josey and quickWS6 to the for sure list and did away with the maybe list to simplify things.
Josey: you can use your stock latch.
