Skid Plates and Hood Inserts

[rowhard]

Just finish placing a order for I hope everything I will need, well, most everything to start the ball rolling. Would be nice to find a faux carbon fiber hood insert under the Christmas tree, Wait, I already have a real one thanks to newthings.

let me know if you get the carbon fiber hood going...

am planning on doing that right away, but it isn't carbon fiber, it is a black fiberglass that looks just like carbon fiber. CF is to hard to work with and 4 times as expensive.

Will they have the hoodscoop molded into them ?

[rowhard]

Well, that might come later. Right now I just want to see if I can produce an acceptable insert.

Thought this might be a good time to upload a photo of the plates from Kuwait that tysamigo bought.

Those look GREAT!

I'm still game for at least a front plate (raw), once you get the 'factory' up and running.

Are you planning to try a painted option, or will you be leaving that to the customer? (Proton is pretty distinctive and straight-forward, and might suggests an easier match than say, Foxfire, with just the right mix of metallic).

Either way, I still plan to get an un-painted one and have it painted locally, so as to hold them accountable for an acceptable match.

Thanks for this Christmas present, Rowhard. Keep us updated as to the pricing so we (I) can start saving our (my) pennies.

NO WAY!!! Those look CGI... AWESOME!!!

I want a hood insert with a scoop... what pbkid said... (EXCEPT I want primered cause I want to paint mine)

Carbon fiber look would be fine with me. Would prefer a scoop but I suppose we will look at that later. My vote would be a 4runner style scoop. I think a scoop like that would match the curves of our car perfectly

scoop... scoop... scOOP.... SCOOP... SCOOP... SCOOP!!!
