Just a refresher course on hood manufacturing 101.
Not even a year ago, a young forum member named "Sarge" decided that he wanted a duplicate of my scooped hood. I told him the best way that I thought he could go about building one, and that was to use fiberglass.
He did his research, and located a very well known company (AAR) a fiberglass hood manufacturer located in Florida that seemed very rerceptive to the idea.
All they needed was a "stock" Crossfire hood to modify to build a duplicate of my hood. Then only 10 actual customers would have to come up with the cash for them to produce the first batch.
The price was going to be $600.00 for the hood, $50.00 packaging it. and $200.00 shipping. All very reasonable when you consider what a brand new Crossfire hood sells for.
We had at least 10 people that wanted a hood originally, but as soon as the price was announced, most people just couldn't commit at the time. And that's pretty much as far as mass hood creation has gone with the Crossfire.
Personally I would like to see a quality "stock" Crossfire hood built by AAR in fiberglass, that would lend itself to all sorts of different, and imaginative creations. Many Crossfire owners have their very own ideas on just what sort of hood they would like to see on their cars.
I would think a "stock" fiberglass hood could also be used as a template, or mold to build a Carbon fiber hood as well.
