I contacted BRTech about a lexan hood and it turns out they're the company that made fourplyn's. Barbara emailed me saying that they are now available for sale. $350 for clear, $450 for red, blue, yellow, and smoke. I think you'd have to call to place the order.

Big thanks to fourplyn for getting this thing set up.

Kind of neat, but what's the point? Super lightweight?

I think I read somewhere that it's like 8 lb. or something but don't quote me. Plus if you have a Hemi, you get to show off to everybody.

This may sound really stupid, but what about the windshield washers?

The hood is beautiful, I would feel less like I'm punching a supermodel in the teeth if the holes were already drilled. Sacrifices must be made I guess

Sig-worthy!

OP...great for weight savings.....not so great for showing off the mini-van mill.

yeah, it would be pretty sweet if you have an engine swap with all the wires hidden.

 

[sixty5vdub]

You could wire up some strobes or neon in the engine compartment, and cruise the local mall.
Oh ......... wait. This isn't the NOPI thread.

Never mind.

Yip.. I need one of these for my diet plan... wonder if I can make the AEV snorkel work without ruining the hood...

I can tell you what you can and cannot do.. I can tell you that the underhood temps don't make a bit of difference with this material..I've had test panels under my stock hood now for months...and zero warpage.

Seeing how someone jumped the gun and is offering these now to everyone with out the obvious questions answered first.

-Washer locator's.

-Underhood bracing..sense this hood sags in the middle.

-Front hood lock mounting bracket.

-You have to figure out the hood latch, and hinge mounting holes.

-Option's for colors other than what they provide. Which I have.

Sense I'm the dealer for these..if you want to know more about the product and how tough they are...pm me.

I just wanted to have all basis covered first...before I started selling them. Doesn't make much sense to get everyone all worked up over something that they will be disappointing in if certain bugs aren't worked out first.

These are the items that I've been working on all year long.

So the 1st tree or boulder you rub against and it grenades...

No thanks.

I would assume these are fairly flexible so that wouldn't be an issue.

However, I would be concerned with the hood bounce issue as these would likely flex. Or am I completely wrong?

Yeah I was wondering what happened when I saw this thread.

hmmm.. I have rubbed doors, fenders, rails, tire carrier, and just about anything else that hangs off my rig... except my hood.. I think you would have bigger things to worry about than if you damaged the hood.. How do you think the Pepsi Can metal of the stock hood is gonna hold up.. Love bugs dent the damn thing.
