No, I asked him for pricing on the roof overlay. Even if it was for the hood he can atleast PM back and say Hey, im working on it ya know. Does he even know about this?

Hi guys! Sorry for the delay. Been really hectic of late. Ive got two young kids now, and my daughters been sick on and off for that last 2 months, so I've been tending to her needs, so please accept my apologies. I can do the hood for $50 plus $8 s/h . I need to get a hold of my test car to make the template, but we're good to go . Also, please email me rather than pming me. I dont get on site as much as I'd like due to my schedule!

Ok guys ... lets get a real list going .. I prefer the one in post #10 above ... Bluebatmobile ... could you let us know when the pattern is done? I guess it wuld be best that the material wraps over the back of the hood?

Make sure it's one piece and not two separate pieces that BlueBatMobile likes to make. It will have a ugly line.

Not till I see completed versions. As I had the roof ones on my 350z, and didn't like the way it turned out.

Would the point of this be to protect the paint, or to try to look like a '70 Mach I?

Just the hood .. you can get the roof separatly if needed .... the diy on the hood will be very easy.

I don't see vinyl there ... that just looks like a smoothed area .. maybe not even a stock bumper.

You might be able too add it yourself ... Myself I'm not feeling it .. too "Audi"ish and thats one of the reasons I didn't buy an Audi/Passat last time.

Ya I did .. not my cup of tea sorry ... I prefer #10 then maybe #1 .... but with the lack of suggestions earlier bluebatmobile I think is doing a workup on #10.

He has to meet with his TL guy .. work up a pattern etc .. and it might be too late for change.
