First hood has been popped out. I am going to start making the integrated headlight cover one with it. The hood weight is about 2-3lbs more than the stock hood. Someone came by to give me a demo on vacuum bagging and the system I would need to make a significant dent on materials use would be atleast $1700 for an industrial grade unit. I need industrial garde to be able to withstand the atmosphere it is in. Sorry it couldn't be lighter.
Another camera phone pic. I will have a better camera when I get back from the weekend and take more pictures.

I do not want to paint any of these becasue the paint could get a scratch in shipping or the color not match exactly, etc. Too much of a hassle for me to deal with. Plus, I am an OK painter, not great.

Unless you have a bumper that i can make a mold directly off of, then I am not going to be making any bumpers. It is beyond my skills. This hood took enough out of me and look how simple this thing is.

Looks good...can't wait to see the solid one and some pictures of it on a car!
BTW because I'm a dumbass, what the hell is this,
"Someone came by to give me a demo on vacuum bagging and the system I would need to make a significant dent on materials use would be atleast $1700 for an industrial grade unit"

The hoods will have the factory threaded bolts, M8 1.25, in the hoods with a back washer welded on the base of the bolt so that the bolt doesn't break out of the fiberglass like snowboarder's autokonxeion hood did.
