Checking interest - Focaljet

**68 Touring Car** · 04-26-2006, 12:01 PM

I am just trying to get a feel about how many would be interested in having a 2005-2007 OEM style Carbon of fiberglass hood? Is everyone looking for the Carbon look or just lite weight. Any ideas or thoughts would be great.

**teddy** · 04-26-2006, 01:20 PM

I am interested to me it doesnt really matter on material i just want a different style hood. Thats my thoughts for you

**Try2Fcs** · 04-26-2006, 05:16 PM

I would be down for any style Carbon Fibre one. Could be plain or Evo style, or anything, i don't really care, i just want a Carbon Fiber one!

If its fob from Detroit (ie no shipping from California) I would highly consider it.

OEM style only.

**LOW FOCI** · 04-29-2006, 06:38 PM

I could be interested!! I really just want some different choices!
Me no likey stock hoody!

**GTRHTR** · 04-30-2006, 09:58 PM

I am interested in either material. I am looking for a vented hood, but don't like the evo style. I am looking for a reverse vent more like the invader style.

**Oreo** · 05-01-2006, 12:24 PM

I don't currently have the money for this, but I would like to see a quality product like this come to market for my future consideration. OEM style only, Carbon fiber or none at all.

**68 Touring Car** · 05-01-2006, 01:21 PM

My first one will be OEM style Lite weight in primer under 7 lbs I need them for our WC car I will keep you updated with any news.

**BrokenSVT** · 05-02-2006, 05:57 PM

Any *thoughts* on price range if you can get a group together???

**68 Touring Car** · 05-03-2006, 07:52 AM

I will post once I recive the first part a test it.

**jinstall** · 05-05-2006, 11:00 AM

Sounds good but I think the shipping would kill me. Not a USPS item.

**engineear** · 05-06-2006, 12:58 AM

Interested. Would like the off centered scoop over the filter, perfect fit, closes tight without slamming, shipped to AZ for under $500...asking for to much?

**NosThundeR** · 05-09-2006, 10:41 PM

i would love one, oem style or not...keep me posted

**CaysE** · 05-15-2006, 11:29 AM

OEM carbon fiber. The lighter the better.

**BrokenSVT** · 05-25-2006, 06:32 PM

Any word Leo???

Greg

**sleeperlove** · 05-26-2006, 06:16 PM

a hood like the old one FC made with the functional scoop on the drivers side would be awesome. no matter what the material. Fiberglass would be good for us who heve less in teh funding area and still close to the CF one in weight

x2 except cali not AZ
and other than a small scoop it would look stock
material doesnt matter just make it light

**3xzsucof** · 06-02-2006, 06:46 PM

either material would be fine with me!! keep us updated plz.

**bryst06** · 06-05-2006, 11:18 AM

any news on if someone has made a carbonhood yet

**68 Touring Car** · 06-05-2006, 12:00 PM

I should have a first one this week and then look to see if it is feasible to make more.

**3xzsucof** · 06-05-2006, 05:11 PM

cool.

**netdragoon** · 06-23-2006, 02:48 AM

I would want one with a heat extracter (or a set of them) near the rear of the hood. I noticed that my engine bay gets HOT with the cossie header...

**AZSilverBullet** · 06-29-2006, 10:16 AM

I am looking for a CF hood now. Location AZ. Price range maybe up to $500. The lower the price the easier it will be to slip it by the wife. :] I like the invader style hood. Functional vents!!!! OEM only do not want to have to mod anything to get it to work.
