    :rant2:

    I don't think I'll need another.
    This one held up exceptionally well considering the water steamed off it, was so hot.
    I just need to clean up the fiberglass a little.
    If this thing had been totally glass, I think it would have destroyed it.

    discounted CF hood!

    i have a blem hood in stock. it has a watermark type image on the hood. it is off to the fornt left hand side of the hood.... it is hard to explain how it looks. if you have ever done window tint it mark looks like when the water hasn't not dried under the tint yet. (they are not bubbles)
    it also has a small dried looking spot about the size of 1/4 of a dime. you can actually only see it in full sun and from two angles.

    sorry i do not have photos of it because it is very hard to show a photo of blemed carbon fiber. you have to see it to understand.

    this hood is perfect for someone wants to paint it or someone who is just not that picky or someone planing to do a grabber type paint job on it and leaving the stripe part in CF.

    if you want it i will let it go for $525.00 plus shipping via truck. if your local to me and want to pick it up i'll bump off another $25 bucks so i don't have to pack the sucker up.

    just so you know this is the last one i have! i will be making more but i'm involved and a few other projects right now and don't have the time to pop them off right now probably not until late summer.

    hit me back if your intersted.

    You got me thinking about one for my 70 Grabber now! Damn! What is a guy to do? I would probably paint mine & leave the Grabber stripe in c/f....
