Looks great bro! I want to see now that hood installed on the Z.

BTW what is the price for the group buy?

Working on getting pricing info right now, hopefully John will have an answer for us when I see him later tonight. He may be waiting for a more concrete number from us so if we assume that these will be around $360 or less?

Who's in?
As you all know, the more people he gets...the more that number drops. I'm just quoting that number from his site, so it could be less to start...i highly doubt it would be more.

Damnit that looks great. I had never intended to buy these but I don't see any way out of it now.

I'd also like to know the price and the level of difficulty for DIY installation (will there be templates or any kind of instructions?). Can we see the underside of the hood with the vents installed?

edit: Would also like to know what the normal price will be.. I am in the middle of two moves and a home renovation so if its not a substantial discount I might just wait until I am ready to install.

I'll ask him about the templates and instructions. It should be fresh in his head since he did it within the past two nights.

OK, stuff's happening fast gents...if we get 10 orders, the price will be $279 + shipping. Asking about just the side vents right now.

Ugh SO CHEAP.

I am betting this will go way past 10.

The bolded is what I would be after as my car is a fairweather DD (doesn't usually see rain...but #Florida so it happens)

The way you are describing it, though... the channels sound like something I could fab on my own with a little fiberglass as an add-on to the underside. I wonder if anyone has one of the said $$$ hoods that I could take a look at locally...

Not really worried about moisture, I just like the idea of not immediately having a filthy engine compartment every time I get caught in the rain.... point taken about defeating the purpose though. It will take some thought.

Rain guards are supposed to be removable, otherwise . . . whats the point? Put them on when bumming around in bad whether, remove them when you need to go fast

Rain CHANNELs, however . . . obviously are not removable if they're molded

Seriously will the side vents be able to be purchased separately from the center?

Got pricing for side vents, $179 + shipping and those will count towards the group buy count of 10

Count me in on this. I want to see more pics of the underside as well as the option of removable rain gaurds.

I'm not a fan of adding additional maintenance items to the car, so anything I would have to take on and off is a non-starter if I can do it differently.

Man, if this were out about a year ago, i would have gone with these. I still have my OEM hood though.....

Does anyone have any data on how much air can escape with this setup?
