Karmotion FRP / Carbon Fiber Hood progress pics...

[canadam]

I will post more pics of the underside once it's complete...

How about you do nothing else on MR2Board until you put your company in good standing with our user Phoenix.

It sounds to me that RACEONUSA owes Phoenix 3 TRD MR2 spoilers. Until that situation is rectified, I highly doubt you, or any of your affiliates will be doing any business on MR2Board.

I've quoted all your posts because there's a pretty good chance you'll just delete them all and disappear.

This hood was made from scratch, using sheet metal and fiberglass. We will be making it in carbon fiber and fiberglass. I will update this thread with additional pics as we complete the hood.

The Karmotion hood would also be functional with or without a hole in the frunk firewall since the skeleton is vented underneath, to lift air out of the radiator compartment and out of the frunk area drop vent.

However, the massive scoop wouldn't be taken advantage of, and primarily be for aesthetics if the firewall is not cut.

I will post more pics of the underside once it's complete...

Ownage. While I appreciate the board looking out for its members, I would be curious to see that final product.

[PHOENIX]

I'm sure you will see it all over Ebay when its done.

[Butters]

ahhh i love this place

and i hae asshats who sell pure crap and try to play it off as quality when we have our own members here hw bust major tail like backtash so bring suff to the mr2 community (AND im not sayi JUST baktash im including all of our sponsors in this catagory)

[skillzo1]

WOW this is the first time i saw this thread ( i think ). Canadam, Phoenix, and Administration, you guys kick ass. You guys definatly made the right choice for the community and said the right phrases.

what does that do for performance? I feel like a lot of weight is being wasted for making the scoop, but it would be better aerodynamically to just have a flat hood.

That hood does NOTHING for performance.

Also, I don't know if anyone has noticed this, but RaceoneUSA and other companies that frequent Ebay did NOT design those body kits. They are rip offs of the Border, Tom's, and Veilside kits. All of the original JDM kits that you would pick up from the original manufacturers are quality products.

Here's a rule of thumb folks... if you see a company on Ebay or anywhere else that is selling a copy-kit that does not direcly claim or is approved by the original manufacturer, the are probably crap.

Common sense applies, if the price is too good to be true... it probably is.

[kbrew8991]

if you do the associated stuff to go along with it, it could help reduce lift... but there are several reputable places to buy from for that type of product... skip these guys

Right choice! I dealt with raceon in the past and it was the worst stuff I have ever seen, I spoke with the owner on the phone for hours trying to get my money back, I filed a dispute with the credit card company, sent them plenty of pictures and they agreed with me and I and got every penny back.
