Let's come up with a new hood design.
What type of material are the original flares made of...fiberglass? From the pictures spoolin posted it looked like they were'nt fiberglass maybe urathane, but after seeing the reps maybe they just have a gelcoat on the inside as well..

Good lord that would be horrible to try to make. all those sharp lines to make sure the gelcoast gets in there perfect. I wouldn't wish making that hood on anyone. Definately looks crazy.

What's so funny about that hood? 
C'mon, challenges are a good thing! If it were me, I'd make the vents using seperate molds, make the hood and graph the pieces together with some glass cloth. But really, just making those vents alone and letting buyers rivet them onto a stock, cut-up hood. I think people would buy vents that are contoured to the stock hood.

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.

Fiberglass quarters
Can you make fiberglass NB quarter panels and front fenders?? I honestly dont care much about the weight savings, but more about RUST! and Im starting to rust... BAD.
I dont think I'd want the widebody kits, as they would make the car look a lot like a P944.
I'd appreciate any help!
