Matt-
Nice products- hope we can do some business someday. That said- []bhow about some Firebird 400 hoods?[b] Firebirds could stand to lose a few pounds off the nose... If you make a full CF piece, I'm in for that plus decklid & rear spoiler (so long as it has a CHMSL).

As Payton said, a nice front splitter or spoiler would be nice...

Matt,
Here's what I think, might be a good ideal. How about trying to do an Ram-Air style hood (simular to the early 70's Firebirds). I always thought that it would look killer if done right and bring back the "Old School" look. Just food for thought.

We will eventually do parts specifically for Firebirds, but I need to focus on the largest markets first from a business perspective. Not to snub the Firebird fans, because I'm one too. I did a frame up restoration on a "69 Trans Am myself, so I love those cars and Pontiacs in general. The great thing is, the deck lids and spoilers we are making for the Camaros will fit Firebirds too. Once the second gen Camaro stuff is in production, I have to decide what would be more popular to start with, first or second gen Firebird hoods. How about a Trans Am style first gen hood and a Formula inspired second gen hood?

Best, MaTT

Do you have the cowl panel with the wiper delete for the first gen?

Mike,

We will have vent delete cowl panels in about a month, but I will have to make a new mold to do a wiper delete. If there is enough interest in it, I will make it. I would need at least 5 people committed to it and some down payments to get it going. If anyone else is interested, please let us know!

I'm in. I'm going to get rid of the wipers and run my intake though the cowl area.

Hello!

On the CF Cowl hood with the vents. Do the vents need to be a little further back for better heat reduction?

Is a 100% carbon fiber hood compatible with the Twist Machine's billet trim plate for the back of the cowl?

**ANVIL1** · #**109** 12-04-2007, 03:25 PM

Dear 69Chevy,

I believe the Twist Machine trim plate is made to fit the stock cowl hood vent opening which is not symetrical. Why the GM engineers designed it that way is bewildering, but our current lineup of hoods is like this, but I have not tried the Twist Machine trim plate. We have made the opening on our new 100% carbon fiber "bare" hood with a symetrical screw pattern, so we will be coming out with a trim plate to fit or it looks pretty clean without a trim plate.
