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

so so far hood pins like this be allright, especially since they are paintable
![](http://www.importprecision.com/aerocatch_hood_pins/images/aerocatch_carbon_plus_flush_locking.jpg)
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
![](http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y14/novidlx/15.jpg)
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

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
4. kdawg8526
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]

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
