Because it looks sweet with white cars who cares of it isn't as strong as cf. These hoods are all about looks anyways
why would you want it made out of texalium? thats garbage.. its just aluminum coated fiberglass, its not as stiff as carbonfiber, its heavier, and not as strong.. its not white/silver carbon fiber.

Looks different then the actual hoods that were getting made.... those new pictures make the vents look massive.
Update pics of the actual hoods when finished please.

I knew this would happen; which is why I didn't sign on until I saw one made already.
It does nothing (aesthetically) for the car.
I was hoping it would really be an enhancement in appearance, like an SC Type-R or something ...
It just looks like another generic GT hood ... I can see this on 100 other cars; it doesn't "belong" to anything (if you know what I mean); the contours of the SC, and the lines in the hood, they just don't go together. Im not doubting its quality, Im simply talking about it's appearance; it just doesn't match the car; especially 'cus it's a linear design, when the car itself is round all over. There are no sharp edges on the SC, but you have quadrilateral vents (???)
Nice, but I'll pass. I think Im'a go with whatever hood this is instead ...
