Ladies and Gentelmen,

Okay, now that I have your attention, I can just get to the point of this whole post.

One of my friends owns a company called StoopidParts (http://www.stoopidparts.com) and is actually interested in gaining a market share in the B14 Sentra community. They already have one original product out for the B15, and its their Velocity Power Carbon Fiber Hood. I've seen the pictures, and they look, in a word DOPE! I'll post some pictures of them as soon as I can find them.

They are looking to make CF hoods for our Sentra/200SX. They have asked if I would be willing to use my car as their prototype. They are looking for about 10-15 solid buyers. As soon as we have the confirmed buyers, work will start on the hood!

Please use the Poll above, as well as this thread to express your interest!

Thanks!

-Sam

I can get a B14 CF hood for about $100 less but i really like the idea of the vents. I am going to check out the quality of the hood that i can get and base my decision after that.

How big of a deposit do we have to put down? 50%??

They have the doner hood.

They have the Vent made as well, They are taking measurements and makeing the prototype now. From there it will take a week or so to get everything togethere and test fitted. Then there should be pics of it in prototype before it is molded. Once the first one is finished then they will do another test fit and make any adjustments as needed ans start production. Once final for is done they will take gapping measurements and temp change in engine bay and compare it to stock. We are guessine the weight to be aroung 7-8LBS since the b14 hood is alot smaller then the b15 one that weights 10lbs. This whole process should be completed and ready to go by April......

will it have enough space to clear turbo?

??????????????

Turbo?????? Hot shot, Fmax, custom, Det???????????

Fmax and most custom will be close. Hot shot and DET should be no problem. I know Jermaine has some guys with diff, set ups that we are taking into consideration with the vent placement and depth..... Its all good, we have considererd it all.....

I think he means for a top mount intercooler. Hes been wanting to do a JDM SR20DET swap.

im taking that into consideration in the LONG LONG run but more or likely HOT SHOT turbo.

COOL!!!!

good to go! Top mount might be a squeeze But if you have one you would be beter off with a stock hood with a functional subi style ram air.......

I'm guessing this hood is mainly for looks, and does actually work. But is the durability gonna match the Fiber images test? i.e. driving a G20 over the hood, and barely scratched it.

I am not sure?????

But I have seen plenty of nicks scatrches and crimping on other other C/F hoods and I guese its all in how you treat your stuff. You for get to latch down your hoor hood you deal with it? I mean really 500$ is what it cost to replace and paint a stock hood, Most peoples Deductibles are right around there. I am sure there will be tests and your ass will be covered................
