Re: FEELER: SRT-6.com groupbuy ViS Racing carbon fiber hood for $500-$650 USD
My CF hood came with a CF front Chrysler wing with space in the middle for an emblem.. does the stock wing/emblem have tabs on the back for mounting or is it just held on by double sided tape? something to think about..
also, I still like the firepower design, a cowl or scoop in the middle is a little excessive though. If you're going to deviate and put vents farther up the hood, might I suggest taking a page from our SLK brethren?
Note the "matching" 3 strakes..

We will NOT make a cf emblem incorporated in the cf hood. The OEM emblem will be used. So some small holes will be needed to drill and or use adhesive.

When design is ready
I do a new list where everyone interested must send me their details and agree with the approximately final design, that maybe hood pins may be necessary, and other factors that I have not come up with yet. Me and Fred at ViS have conversations daily and we are setting up a date where I am sending a car with DCAI so they can measure for clearance.
Just stay tuned and we will get this going.

Here is a thought and design.
Note that the rear is no scoop, it is an airvent. see explanation pic next.

The waldig design without spine in the middle. The spine looks good on computer. But I just cannot see it when I stand next to Albino. It looks strange...

Just been out checking the car. IRL the vent must try to start as high up as possible and have a small angle slant. Then it will look good. So start as high up as possible towards the windscreen. maybe mid of hood.
Spine is just about taste. But it is coming more and more towards the waldig one but with minor enhancements that the ViS designers will do.

So here are two of to close to final designs. This is waldig with or without spines.

With rounded edges as asked for.

How many would feel comfortable with something like this?

Remember, these are just mockups for the ViS guys too see. So clearance and other stuff may change the final design. But this is the idea they will use when they start. It is a Waldig + Firepower = SRT-6.com design. Tried my best to make it look good. and as deep as possible the vent will be so it also will be functional.
