I believe he makes one that is a bolt on too. Just doesn't go up to the windshield. I believe the prices are the same, but Stenod will confirm the price when you place an order.

I don't have any pictures of it mounted. Generally you have to trim the top lip of the tail lights so that it's a flush surface all the way around. Then you can dzus it to the lights with 4 dzus's. The deck lid will close over the top. Since the carbon is flexible, you can adjust the height. However, what Joe Van O said during some testing was that the car was stable to 200 (Mike Yedgarian's yellow firebird) with the wing at it's lowest height.

I hope that helps.

I wonder what shipping would be on a ws6 hood? I would sell my new ws9 Outlaw if I could upgrade to this one if it wasnt too much more.

Plan on shipping costing a bit because they consider it something far larger than a pallet and nail you on the trucking space. Depending on where it's going shipping may vary and sometimes cost as much as the hood itself. Plan on a few hundred bucks in shipping fee's unless you can arrange a cheaper option through someone that ships a hell of a lot more than Stenod does on a daily basis.

Yeah I know. Thats the only thing keeping me from pulling the trigger. My cage shipping from them was cheap though.

The cage fits in a box that I believe they have no problem with. The problem with the hood is it comes in a larger container and from time to time the fork lift drivers like to stab the shipping container right through the side. That makes for an exceptionally well received delivery on occasion.

As far as the dash, I'm not aware of a installed picture. The only one I've seen was on VFN's website for their dash (which looks virtually the same). You might also find one for Dave Underwood's car too. IMO the dash looks like crap compared to a gutted stock one anyway and the weight trade off isn't enough for me to give a rip about the minor difference over how crappy they look no matter how much paint you coat them with. That's just my opinion though. lol

I've seen a VFn one.... if it looks like that then nevermind, because I agree with ya on that one.

VFN vs Joe's is night and day. Had them side by side last week. Neither has the look of a real dash though.

Probably have pics of the wing and dash in the next month or so. But depends on how motivated I get to install them

any pics of the bolt on hood for the ws6? I really wouldn't like the pin on hood as they are a pain to have if you are by yourself.

See if you can get some pics from inside the car as well. Ready and willing to pull the trigger soon.

The Stenod guys are pretty busy to keep up with the boards anymore. Calling them is probally going to be your best bet.

Glad to see someone's carrying his stuff now because he was kinda difficult to deal with.

One more question, do the front bumpers come in LS1 & LT1 styles?
You have no idea what your talking about buddy. Joe's stuff is lighter stronger and made 100 times nicer. Joe's stuff is made by hand per order by Joe himself. I personally know joe and have some of his parts they are bar none the BEST on the market
