So these are FG hood blisters that replace the stock ones. How much lighter are they and do they serve other purposes besides weight reduction? Aren't the stock ones already plastic? What's the deal with the pass side headlight and is that some kind of vent in front of the pass side blister. I think they would look best on a black hood, but haven't decided on a white hood.

they are for the purpose of removing heat. YOu wouldn't even beleive he amount of airflow that comes out when I have the vent on. I have new pics with the vents on them. After driving and stopping the heat that rises out of these is ridiculous.

will post pics....

Passanger headlight is the new clear light mod we are working on.

damn IPO that's awesome!! Looks really good. Excellent work!

[imp pwr online]

Thanks. We are trying to get caught up to start producing them. That and the headlight

IPO,

What is the pressure of the regulator you have the propane set at? Also, it says to drill out the Hobbs switch for a better turbo response. How and Why?

actually it says "This will allow for more accurate and quicker response."

It will give faster response if tapped directly into the intake for boost referance. But you can t off a vac line if you wish.

Are these available yet? I think they would be sweet on a carbon fiber hood.

[imp pwr online]

Only set built thus far are the ones on our car. They are going to be $250 each and will be built per order with about a 2 week turn around time.;)

[IronFish]

cool. $250 is a great price. If I decide to keep my car, I will probably be buying a pair from you when they are available.
