Custom hood. Aerojacket didn't make it.

That's what Isamu told me.

I'm interested in the hood as well but nobody is making it.

What about this one as an alternative? SEIBON VSII Style to be exact.

I had inquired about that very hood that we are all drooling over, but there seemed to be some issues with the designer and the production provider. I didn't get into it too deep, but I was very active in pursuing this item while I worked my initial build. I will make another attempt later on this year (probably the Fall/Winter), when I build my motor and pursue a few minor cosmetic/interior upgrades. Otherwise, it will be the SEIBON unit for me.

Thanks!

I was thinking about that hood too but am a little concerned about the fit. I've seen both good and bad from them. No different from any company that makes this type of stuff though.

The hood on the blue Z would be relatively easy to recreate if you know someone with good metal skills.

It sounds like we are on similar upgrade paths.

I'm a big fan of Carbon Signals hood cutouts they are/were selling. the VIS version is too square and I didn't feel flowed well with the car's lines.

That's wassup! I do have 2 distractors though. I need to refresh the Tahoe which shouldn't take much more than a 100k maintenance, an interior job, and a good wetsanding/buffing. The main one is the dang kit that F.I. just blasted all over the net. If I can resist Tony's "voodoo", my car should be finished (for the time being) early next year.

I've had my issues with Carbon Signal... I do like their vents but would rather keep my hood stock than give them more money.

Isamu said he would make the hood for me, maybe we can make a group build? He verified for me that he designed the hood.

SS_Firehawk · 02-10-2013, 05:28 PM

I'd be in that in a heart beat

Kingbaby · 02-10-2013, 05:31 PM

it's very s chassis that hood is!

I like

bullitt5897 · 02-10-2013, 06:04 PM

Isamu Did a design similar to when that hood was being built. The hood is a Modified OEM hood we were going to bring to market. However due to price and desire for the hood we didnt make molds. The price to market was going to be close to $1000/hood at our prices back then. I am still searching for a good manufacturer for UAM to bring more products to market. Its been tough finding someone reliable and inexpensive lol its like the two dont go together...

SS_Firehawk · 02-10-2013, 06:10 PM

Yeah, hard to compromise without affecting the other.
