Custom CF Bonnet Cowl

So i just got finished trying these out on my mini, and I heart them. A lot. Custom made to be the biggest opening while still clearing the hood, and as you can see thet have a unique way of attaching to the car via the basic "vise grip" on the inside at either end. They are just a prototype thusfar, a few kinks are getting worked out, but just wanted to see peoples thoughts. Here are the pics:

I had these made by a friend, so i'll make sure to pass along the props, n1ftyneil, but yea he really does clean good job with the carbon fiber. Once they are out or prototype stage I'm sure time permitting more will get made. Fiberglass is also be available, too, but carbon fiber will still be cheaper than $200 if i remember correctly.

Very nice
Mine is 3 years old (check my gallery, one of Hot air extractor's pics) and I could not find a shop to get it in production . Hope you have better luck.
