Well boys and girls (those of us with P11's) I found a shop locally in Orlando so we don't have to solely rely on the west coast manufacturer who so gracefully was not able to provide me with a decent hood that was worth the money spent. We went to the facility today and spoke the to people in charge and got some insight as to what they have done in the past. They were in the business of making composite parts in the aviation field and they have a full facility with pretty much everything you would want. They have C&C machines, CADD workstations and just about everything else. They have a great facility and at this point I have agreed to supply my OEM hood and we are going to give it another shot. They looked at my existing carbon hood and we are pretty confident they can make a better product. Also there is more flexibility with the colors as well. I do not know the cost yet but if you are expecting a $400 hood, this may not be the place. This isn't a bunch of guys in a garage working on fiberglass making hoods, this is a professional operation making high quality composite hoods, they have been in the business making composite parts that require much more scrutiny than the hood on a car so I am confident of the quality, and I will be local so I will be able to see the progress. After my experience with Fiber Images and their sidekick Andy Reyes who so tactfull left me hanging in the cold after taking my money.. I am happy to be there first hand to see the progress. On a sidebar.. I unbolted my touring wing so expect raplicas soon. I do see other parts being made in the near future, hell I will be donating anything I can to get it back in carbon. Email me if ??'s
