!!

Any chance I could pickup directly from the supplier to avoid shipping?

Option A without vents would be perfect, IMO. As I mentioned before, custom paint options would be nice. I'd personally like it in LBB with the powerdome exposed CF.

EDIT: If its the supplier I'm thinking off, its only about 10 miles from my house.

Also, I hope you're going to offer various painting options. I like to the look of the exposed CF on the powerdome.

GTS style hood if possible. Otherwise, no vent option A.

1000000000.1% agree 👍🏼

rjtoudouze · 04-12-2019, 05:10 PM

If you do A without vents, put me down for one

RocketBoots · 04-12-2019, 08:20 PM

Is there a reason you can't do the GTS style hood, with the power dome and the small vent in the front?? Copyright? Otherwise, definitely NO vent.

Also, are they able to make the CFRP roof?

Agree with above: single low profile vent in the dome. Otherwise no vents at all.

GTS style hood option please ...

nothingman · 04-14-2019, 10:00 PM

+1 for option A with no vents

AndrewC1989 · 04-14-2019, 10:38 PM

Either GTS style vent or no vent. The others look super ricey.

I'm Also on the same page with these two options 👏🏻. I assume the GTS style hood is much harder to build and a couple companies already make this style.

Why is GTS not an option? You guys literally have it on your shop car.

Can't believe ya'll even considered those hideous vents at all. Is this company turning into another Seibon rice market?

The GTS style looks good and should be an option as long as proper rain channels are built in.

But those after-thought cutouts from the 1st post my god

AndrewC1989 · 04-14-2019, 11:02 PM

Y'all just need to make an affordable one of these:

If you have to have vents then what about making the vents smaller and closer to the dome like a e92?

McGary911 · 04-15-2019, 09:49 AM

Count me as another enemy of the vents. I DO like the power dome and the suggestion for custom paint which you do with a ton of your other items.

What price points are we talking (ballpark) for CF or 'Glass or a mix?

I think that'll be important for a bunch of folks.
