on the firehawk hood design.

6LE, do you have a final design going forward yet or are you testing the waters on a hood?

^^Stock hood with a ZR1 style window. Doing it because we did the blower swap on Gil's car and it will show it off well. After that a stock hood but raised cowl in the back (and then that hood with a window as well)...

We put a blower on Gil's car and decided to show it off ZR1 style with what we're calling our ZR8 hood...

Fresh out of waterjet and paint...





Here it is with our prototype window (made this one out of Lexan for test fit, finished will be polycarbonate)...









Thoughts? We love it !

the hood is nice. but not everyone is supercharging their G8's. more people are swapping their bumpers for the GXP bumpers. I like the Coupe60 front bumper!!

Thats a pretty nice option for those doing the LSA blower swap. Looks pretty well done from your pics.

^^This never happened....

We can do it in a high quality flexible fiberglass (mounts just like OEM) and only need 10 interested.

Maybe I missed it, but which bumper would you make? Might get a better response over at one of the G8 boards.

Depending on price, I'm down for one...need 9 more.
