vents would be like the one picture with the gauges, on the back so not as visable while still be able to help control underhood temps, especially heatsoak

and wiper nozzles, they can be a little closer, they just need to be angled up a little more, or if we must we could always put it on the arm like on some cars

friesm2000

= in my book most of the time, some cars can pull it off though but not many though

I will most likely paint the hood when I get sick of the CF look

plus, if it looks somewhat oem it will look nice painted

yes, I will only rock the OEM, Inspire or Saber grill

shit i forgot, 99-01s have different hoods than the 02-03s

but if it's still possible yeah i want the chrome up front, i'm gonna keep my A i don't want to do the JDM emblems crap

friesm2000

iTrader: (4)

forgot about you having a 2000

fuck

so so far hood pins like this be allright, especially since they are paintable


revise the hood bracing for more clearence

fiberglass option that at the same time is cheaper too, but not quite as light

then a vent like this \/ at the back to help underhood temps, then also something along these lines for the actual bulge in the hood



then have it extend a little further back, to help cover the wipers a little more for aesthetics, but also aerodynamics

then the chrome front piece seems to be kinda mandatory also , but as said some people want to still rock the stock grill though

btw ass just means you need to do a front end conversion lol

most recent



with an estimate of $800-850 for the CF hood (and cheaper for the fiberglass version),
plus a 50% deposit before this will happen from everybody

1. friesm2000, bulge
2. gfrg88, bulge
3. jaMezBOI, bulge

5. VIP typ-S, stock

btw the bulge hood would hopefully be a stock appering hood, so along the stock lines, but at the same time providing more clearance
then hopefully also have a stock sized one too[/quote]

haha no thanks. i actually prefer the 99-01 front end. i like the 02-03 tails, which i need to get some

jaMezBOI

iTrader: (3)

what vent that looks like \/

friesm2000

iTrader: (4)

it suppose to be a down arrow , and the vent is with how the hood rises up in that picture, that would be open so air could flow out of there and help keep the under hood temps down

gfrg88

iTrader: (2)

I just want a CF hood with nice power bulge, no vents. Nice and clean.

jaMezBOI

iTrader: (3)

whatever keeps the under hood temps cooler, im down for... as long as the vents dont look tacky and cheap

edit: thats true, plus its just adding more work thats not really necessary. If the hood comes up how it is in the pic, that will help abit anyways

friesm2000

iTrader: (4)

the reason for it going out the back of the hood along the wipers, then also slightly extending the hood backwards, so you can't see them from the outside really

gfrg88

iTrader: (2)

I think if it's just like a cowl hood type thingy, that will help lower the temps down a shit ton.. And like Jamez said, A LOT less work, and will prolly keep cost down a bit

lol, but it should be bumping somewhere else though

assclown

iTrader: (1)

should be bumping a fucking 99-01 hood!!!!

gfrg88

iTrader: (2)

^^

gfrg88

iTrader: (2)

jk jk.. 99-01 can look real sick if done right


Also iirc 99-01 can decent CF hoods already, can't they

Rajca

iTrader: (8)

99-01 already have a "decent cf hood" out for them

gfrg88

iTrader: (2)

That's what I thought..

assclown

iTrader: (1)

i don't really care for the CF, i want the power buldge

DC3328

iTrader: (22)

no we dont, doesnt fit too good

Rajca

iTrader: (8)

really? bc ive seen a few ppl with them and besides trimming it here and their (ur gonna do that with every custom piece)

gfrg88

iTrader: (2)

which is why we said pretty "decent"


You want the power bulge, you're gonna have to get a facelift

gfrg88

iTrader: (2)

Mods, can you please change the tittle to "Heeltoe Carbon Fiber group buy"

Please

DC3328

iTrader: (22)

it mounts too close to the passenger side so theres a gap on the driver side that sticks up, you can see my intake through it. oh and the hood struts dont screw into it.

friesm2000

iTrader: (4)

thats fine with me also mods (but it could also be in fiberglass for some people though)

MrHeeltoe

iTrader: (1)

How much room is really needed underneath? A mild bulge is best I think...but what is the minimum needed?

kdawg8526

iTrader: (3)

not too much of a bulge just a lil bit. i would want something as close to oem as possible. enough so i can fit that dang mdx intake manifold spacer

friesm2000

iTrader: (4)

jaMezBOI, would be your best bet for exactly how much room is needed, since he has actually made the hood high enough for the spacer to fit on his

Rajca

iTrader: (8)

at least 2".

DC3328

iTrader: (22)

wouldnt the bulge look out of place due to the crease we have running down the middle?

Rajca

iTrader: (8)

This is where someone with ps skills comes in and does a quick ps of a cowl hood

friesm2000

iTrader: (4)

you just put the crease in the raised portion , and then as far as the sides, you just go a little higher on them
