Yes, I like the evo style especially, but would want it on/for another car (91-94 sentra). Additionally I'd like a trunk for that same car, that would be for the purposes of being very plain and light. What are your projected prices...roughly? Oh yeah, google up "auto vent shade's model 991001 evo style "hood scoop" It might help you in the "evo style" base mold making process.Last edited by iceracerdude; 03-12-2011, 07:52 PM.97 Aspire w/K03 turbocharged b6 SOHC

I'm not sure about the prices yet gotta make the prototype first. Well in general I would like to start at $200 + shipping for the Regular fiberglass hood and then go up depending on the FMS style, dj style, evo style, ect. But I will have to see how much it's gonna cost me to make first.Frankie

Around $200 for the basic stock hood plus shipping sounds good to me.
A couple things to consider when making these:
-pay attention to the stiffness of the leading edge. I believe the original FMS FG hoods had some issues with lifting at higher speeds and needed reinfocement. I think Roger fixed that on later hoods.
-Make sure the attachment points for the hinges are properly reinforced. (I can't recall if this was another issue or just my imagination.)
-I'd really like to see enough reinforcement of the leading edge combined with some sort of latch bar attachment that would allow use of the stock hood latch mechanism. This would, IMO, be the icing on the cake!

^^One of the problems with the early FMS hoods wasn't the leading edge, it was the back of the hood flapping around at high speeds. This was fixed by putting a small reinforcement bead of fiberglass along the back side of the hood on the inside.Comment
