    Ok so i posted this on my local gp club. I am making a couple hoods(4) and they are knock off's of what is out there and one is my own design. the reson decided to do this is because i have found that they can be made cheaper then they are being sold. i have noticed that they are selling for 600 a pop and it only cost about 200 to make 3 hoods. Well when i get move into my new house. i will post some pics what i have so far at the shop. One of the hoods s a ws6 style, the other is a four vent and the i am doing inferno style for the '97-03 bidy style and the last one is a twin scoop that is also a cowl hood, well let me know if this has any interest here?

    I'd be interested in the 04 as well. I've got the inferno now but I would be interested if you had something else.

    Good to see someone playing with this idea (especially in WI). Are these complete and functional hoods you are talking about or are they simply stock hoods with scoops, etc. molded on/modified stock?

    Yes, the actual production cost of a hood is lower, but a company will have lots of overhead to roll into the costs. The molds for these are quite expensive, not to mention wages, materials, utilities, etc.

    I like the hoods currently offered, but I too would like to see something else offered and haven't found "my" hood yet. Good luck and keep us up to date.

    OK to answer the question about will it just be a scoop molded on a stock hood NO! They will use the stock framing from a stock hood is all. Doing that so its lighter but at the same time you can use stcok shocks and hood latch. As to fuction, well it will be open to where it forces air into the engine bay and pulls heat out the rear(heat extractors) but as for hooking a cone up to the scoop not yet they wont be. but as for he vents like i said yes they will be open.


    And to the guys that will be interested when i get these done and post pics i will need you all to send me a im telling me the year and make of your car and what type of hood you want

    well i will probaly end up selling them for about 200 a hood. And that is with them coming in primer. If you wanted them painted then it would be more and you would have to give me your paint code so i could match you the paint.


    Oh and i was going to say this in the other post in repy to expecially i wisconsin. What better do i have to do in the winter. i mean i already spend 50 percet of my day in the shop why not make it more i mean during summer i am there longer. So i figured since i wanted a new hood and did not want to spnd 600 on a non painted hood i would check into it and see what it cost to make them thats when i saw the price and how easy they could be made and was like i am going to make a few of these and depending on how they turn out i will sell them to people that are interested

    I have been waiting forever for a cowl hood to come out. I am in love with the hood that WBS/Intense advertise but dont sell. They say that they are waiting for a big preorder but nobody is going to drop that cash for somthing they may not get for years. Ron Vogal has the hood I want. If you could make a replica of that hood, then I am in.
    Yeah its a grand prix, so what, wanna fight about it.

    W Body Store - Don't Take SLOW for an answer!

    Here is a pic of Rons car, its the white one on the bottom.
    http://www.wbodystore.com/grandprix/images/uglycar.jpg

    Ron Vogel's 2000 Grand Prix GTP - Ron's Grand Prix has gone a best E/T of 12.19. Doesn't sound like much? Consider that Ron has attained these times with a stock cam, heads, block, transmission, Gen III blower, and stock (ported) throttle body! Ron's car is driven daily and is designed to be fast as well as reliable
    Yeah its a grand prix, so what, wanna fight about it.
