Thanks, everybody - it has taken a while, but I feel that my carbon products have finally matured, and I can stabilize that process and work on manufacturing efficiency. Everything is hand cut and laid by me and my wife. Unfortunately the nomex honeycomb that works so well in this kind of part is very expensive - about $200 per hood, on top of the carbon fabric, epoxy resin, and bagging materials. So prices had to go up.
If there are some folks that would pay similar prices for a 3rd gen hood, please let me know. The mold construction is a pretty big effort so I would need several orders to make that investment. I would really like to make some parts for newer platforms - if someone would be willing to loan me a 2010 Camaro in exchange for a really good deal on parts, give me a call.
