can we make a set that goes atop of our fenders? to release the vortex of air the wheels create.

Yesterday I installed a set of hood louvers in Erik's track car. This time I used the rubber trim (which is included in everyone's kits) to clean up the edge.
The louvers don't work in my rather unique hood situation, but of course I had to represent - made a custom louver piece for my turbo heat chimney:

Looks way good on the NB hood. I was just going to ask about wind noise on the front plates until I realized there isn't a chance in hell I could hear it over my exhaust.
Have you tried welding them in to the hood to clean up the look a little? Not that the rivets look bad, but I'm just trying to think of a more streamline mounting method, be it welding or industrial strength epoxy.

Just looked through the instructions/pictures. I know the hood is still plenty strong with half the width of the bracing removed, but I wonder how much cooling would be sacrificed if the side vents were placed ~1" further to the outside so that you have to trim even less of the bracing?

The underbracing isn't the issue. Look at an NB hood and you'll see that it changes angles about 9" in from the sides. The louvers can bend to a certain point, but they can't become pretzels and conform to bending on three axis. As the positioning is, they come just to the edge of where the hood changes angle.

We didn't answer it, and from here on forward, the kit will only be available as three pieces. We originally offered the sides-only option for those who wanted to keep the costs down a bit, but the full set is optimized to work together, and achieves the ideal opening size.
Working out the kinks for full production of these right now, they should be available through Good-Win Racing by the end of the month
(And I know they are very capable of shipping to the UK)

I've just looked at the goodwin site and their faqs say this:
"Do you ship International?
