Re: Found someone that will make CF hoods.
I think a scoop like on that FX prototype hood Is what Id like. Not the universal scoop but the actual hood in the sneek peek section....sorta like the Kaminari CF hood. An invertyed scoop would be alright too.<P>-Alex

Re: Found someone that will make CF hoods.
YEAH I WANT VENTS TOO...I think they look cooler...scoops are ok, but I think vents would look cooler on the mx3<P>JCali- But count me in for a plain hood. <P><BR> <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Custommx3:<BR><STRONG>I'd prefer one of these designs..<BR> <BR> <P> <BR> </STRONG><HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Re: Found someone that will make CF hoods.

Re: Found someone that will make CF hoods.
Ok.... I cant make everyone happy. Half want a big scoop. half want vents, half want inverted..I am pretty sure its gonna be either nothing or the cavalier style. Every time they change the scoop style, another mold has to be made....and that gets expensive. Sorry guys...thats just how it is.

Re: Found someone that will make CF hoods.
My personal first choice would be a plain hood.<P>Second choice would be a hood with vents.<P>Third with hood scoop.

Re: Found someone that will make CF hoods.
lets vote who wants scoop and who wants vents and we should post this topic in some other topics so rs owners can get one of hoods too, when its gonna be made, we should see pic of it how its gonna look or at least computer graphic so there wont be disappointments, personally i dont mind scoop but vents would be cool as long as it all is in cf no white fiberglass that would need to be painted and it would look ugly in middle of cf hood

Re: Found someone that will make CF hoods.
