we are also planning to do some light weight CF hoods too... ... with vents of course...

cheers

Can we please have one that is based on air flows and pressure differances not on just what looks good.

For me I only needs one vent and that is one long slot vent right a the front just above the space between the radiator and the engine. Ie drift6, evo or skyline

←

and that's what I would want as well... R34 GTR Nismo bonnet style... all the air vents behind half way of the bulge is gonna create some air flow problems (according to one of very famous Melbourne ford tuning houses)... and you are correct... better to put those vents just right behind the radiator...

We are extremely interested in making some nice CF bonnets and will also prefer to use the press-mould method + heat to cure the bonnet, just like our interior kits instead of using the traditional laminating method to ensure the optimal weight saving and the strength... If press moulds are used, each CF bonnet (or we can also use kevlar) will be around 5.5 kilo or less... but it all comes down to the cost and demands really.... I think a normal xr8 bonnet will see the light first and follow by a vented bonnet then the rest of the CF body parts...

Bring it on

What about this ?

dayum, that white thing with the black roof is an ugly arse combo... JR (whoever he is) should be ashamed of himself.

JR is the editor of street fords magazine, the car dose look better in the flesh.

I saw this on ebay, good mix between airflow and the buldge IMO, but would like an outlet at the back of the buldge as well

BA bonnet scoop

we are working on some bonnets.... and once we have the base ones ready... vent designs shouldn't be any problem...

We are planning to release those CARBON FIBRE bonnets in Feb to March time... (will definitely have a V8 bonnt and a plain T bonnet design)

So are you guys interested in Drift6 bonnet (exactly the same design)??

cheers,

I would be interested in a CF Drif6 replica. I like the ones AWC have brough tout but I would also like the large slot in the front of the bonnet like the Drif6

seems that there will be a long delay on our products... demands v.s. production cost...

cheers,

happy to wait for a good product, let us know how thing progress
