I have seen several of their hoods in person as well, the quality is amazing and the fit was perfect.

They do not offer any hoods for f-bodies as of now, they need a hood to make a mold from and at least 10 definites for this to happen. Sign up and lets make it happen guys!

Just the top would be CF? That price sounds too good to be true, JS can you confirm that (I know you and I don't know Fenris).

I will get some pics up of a friend's hood done by them.

No, this hood will not fit a 94, sorry <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="gr_sad.gif" />

Edited the list.

Please specify if you are a "maybe" or a "definate" so I don't have to translate "interested", "very interested!" etc <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Fenris, after a while I like to have a name for folks... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Is it a CF top and fiberglass underside?

put me as a maybe. 40 pounds less for the hood alone would be real nice.
