Default Questions...

First of all, the question every one wants answered: How much? No one here can commit to a purchase that has no bottom line.

Second and more important: Can we be guaranteed a tight OEM fit? I've seen too many cheap, cheesy fiber glass and carbon composite creations to just jump on any 'ole wagon.

Thanks

yeah, its hard to commit when there isn't even a ballpark figure to work with. So no possibility of a hood with a vent? DAMN! hehe, I really like the veilside type hood for the GS. Well... I *might* be in depending on price. I can starve my cats for a month or two


( just kidding! I don't even have cats)

How much lighter do you think the hood is? Is it easy to paint it so it looks stock. IMO a carbon fiber looking hood just looks strange. I am obviously interested in the ligthweight characteristics over looks.

why don't you get the guy to make 1 so everyone can see the fit, and all that .. im sure once you had a proto-type you could get 30 or whatever.

Yeah, you have to at least have one made so that people can see it and maybe he'll sell it to you cheap first for being the prototype.

If it fits nicely and everything is good, maybe more people will jump in.

Em....where's yours? Contact me!!
