Did you at least read page one?
If so, then you saw the different angle pics that are available, IF NOT.... WTF?:bash:

I was just curious if there was a shot from the front of the car with the hood closed.
Did you dream that it was built with stock hood latches?
Oh yes, the latches and the vents were GLORIOUS. :rolling:
So where is this at? It appears that there is a decent amount of interest here. Has Tiger been contacted about a possible group buy? Would they even be responsive to adapting it to be compatible with the stock hinges and latches, or is this something we would be responsible for handling on our own? I have the skills to be able to do it, but would obviously prefer a "factory built" piece that I could just prep and paint - especially with the cost involved.
Ronnie sent Paul Brown (Tiger racing) an email that he responded to somewhat favorably, but he is racing a BOSS 302S in a competitive series so he has not got a lot of time right now, or at least as much as he would like.
I think it's going to happen but the series is eating up a lot of his time right now.
Plus he's kicking ass so I wouldn't want to stop and make hoods either.
I can wait, I know it will be right if it's made by him, let's see how it goes with the series and give him a chance to get caught up.:beer:

That's great news! I'm in no particular hurry anyway, and would much rather wait for a nicer product anyway.:beer:
id be down for one.
That looks like a fine team Paul has there. I can well imagine how busy Paul must be. But good things come to those who wait.
Not for the faint of heart, but it is VERY effective.:rockon::bowdown:
There are some people in the Terminator enthusiast community, that also enjoy hard tracking their cars, that have mentioned that they would be very likely to purchase this, if a full function, hinge and latch capable version was made of this hood right here.
If Tiger Racing could be convinced that there was sufficient and very interested market for a FULL FUNCTION....not lift off version --> like the hood shown here (which was custom fabbed from a stock hood combined with a Tiger hood)... Tiger-Racing
Would you be interested in buying one? Yes it clears the Eaton and a fairly large KB as well!
I know I would. Currently it is only available in lift off form in both CARBON FIBER(8lbs) and FIBER GLASS(20lbs).
From this thread-> http://www.svtperformance.com/forums/open-track-racing-203/760083-what-hood.html
Post up if you would like to see this product come to market in non-lift off form.
BTW is that a blanket or is it just painted black underneath?
I need this hood. :fm::fm::fm:
I need that hood just for driving it on the streets out here in the summer... i'd get one for sure
Looks like paint to me Ron.:beer:
Can you imagine the amount of fiberglass that would get stuck in your fingers if you tried to cut out all those vent slots.
Subscribing!
Bump for June. :whine:
I need this hood... have I mentioned that before? I really really need this hood to keep my car cool.... I NEEEEEEEEEED THIS HOOD!!!
realisticly (sp?) is this going to happen and if yes when? cause I don't think I will wait much longer, either I cut up my Cervinis hood and get the less ideal air flow or I will buy the lift off version... which would kinda suck for inspection or being pulled over by cops.
how on earth would I be able to lift off the hood by myself? unless I buy the carbon fiber version... which then again is more expensive and more illegal :shrug:
ok, enough of the whining... sorry guys

I have considered the lift off as well, but that is pretty much a no go when in the pits at the track for me.
I plan to check in again shortly. I'm even willing to pay mine in advance. :lol:

I imagine Paul is still knee deep in his racing season. If I had to guess it will probably be at least 2 to 3 months before one could be shipped if this happens at all.
I'm going to get something if the lift off is all that's available when I'm ready then that's what I'll get, though I am not pressed for time.
The fiber glass lift off is only 20 pounds which does not sound too terribly bad if I need to lift it off.
Not so good news:
We haven't even had a chance to think about it. Between what Ford Racing has us doing with the Boss program and a shop fuller than normal,
It's been tough. Until I recoupe from the ford deal, we just don't have the resources to jump into another project.
Tiger Racing
Hmmm. 8lbs for the vacuum bagged carbon lift off. I wonder how manageable that would be in the garage and on the pits. :dw:

let me know when you find out :-D
I think I'm going to have my shop fab me some custom vents like the ones that Steve of TrueForged wanted to do a while back (http://www.svtperformance.com/forums/terminator-talk-229/597041-possible-new-product-custom-road-race-style-hood-vents.html) but instead of flat vents we're going to shape them like the tiger vents, louvered or whatever this is called.
requires to cut up my hood but if this is what it takes to keep my car cool then I'll gladly do that :beer:
