worth a try but I don't think two orders will make for much of a discount.
if I get one from the states only needs to be fibre glass. not going through crazy cracks on carbon fibre again lol. only two years to make it crazy crack.

Yowch, yea i dont even want the carbon style. I would like mine to be the same white as the rest of the car. :-)

If thats the case If you can get a price for a FRP one (same as rory. will be painting it body colour) that can use the stock latch (want to avoid hood pins) Ill be in along with rory to make it a bit of a group buy.
car gets wayy to hot on the track. accually want vented hood for cooling purposes not being a ricer

ok I am having a brain fart at the mo. refresh me on what is FRP

I will be going for hood pins..

[roryfromnz]

Haha ricer.. yes im after the cooling effect of the vented bonnet. Especially when i get round to bolting this TD04 setup i have sitting in the living room... :-/

[Adam.Findlay]

FRP = fiberglass.
carbon isnt that much lighter and i dont want to leave it bare carbon anyway want to paint it.
yeah td04's + more boost will definatly make more heat. definatly need as much air flow through our engine bay as possible especially with how horrible it is standard.

[Adam.Findlay]

or if someones intrested i can swap a set of 262 cams for a Monster hood.

[roryfromnz]

Tell me about it! Heat is nasty, especially in traffic.. the only cooling "mods" ive done it a couple of spacers and longer bolts on the bonnet hindges.. Altho didnt want to go to major on that due to the way the bonnet would work in a front on accident.. :-/
You putting td04s in yours too Adam? Ive got the GTO Upgrade version.. i think they are 13g? something like that.. all i know is the compressors are 2x the size of the stock vr4 tubs

Ive never had heat issues in traffic or on the road, just flat out on the track i cant get more then a few laps, even with my AFR's very conservitave ~11:1 on boost
no not after td04's, currently my engine is stock except cams, tune, intercooler but i have another engine in my garage which is going to be build into a monster hoping for 2x gt2860r's on it, but thats a story for another thread

[roryfromnz]

OOoooH! That sounds killer. :-) Looking forward to seeing the pics of that build!

[Adam.Findlay]

Also @Gly can you comment on the quality of the evo style hood you got? and do you know if brads monster hood has the air inlet on the passenger side like the pic i linked in post #7 as i cannot see from the picture in brads "garage" and thats the only pic i could find of it
