Im possibly down for this I just want to see the finished product to see if it will match with my hood

 

When you say match your hood, do you mean the weave of the fabric or something in particular about your hood?

I'm currently working on a model of the scoop with all the detail so a production mold can be made. I'll post some pics when it's ready.

 

Count me in

 

I am interested in this product as well. Do you have an estimate on the price yet?

 

Here is a couple more pics of the prototype that Jim had sent...This is the 2nd one that was in the box that I did not know was there originally...



Here it is with hood lighting protruding through the opening:

 

Just a quick update. I have a couple projects that I'm trying to get out this week so I haven't had as much time as hoped to finish things up, but I did make the mold today for the scoop and will be working on the final one for the the cover. I should have a reasonably good part early next week, and hopefully it will be ready or at least very close for production.

 

Thanks for the update Jim...Looking forward to the finished product!

 

Well here is the first part from the new mold, not the best representation but should give everyone the idea.




Let me know what you think, it's a little different than the first prototypes and I was trying to use some of the feedback for the overall look.
I'll try to get a good part soon along with the base so it can be installed.

I've been buried lately, here's a set of TC a pillars just sent out:

 

Def Interested in this.

If your doing any interior pieces for the xD in CF let me know I would kill for some

 

I'm very interested in this for the xD and the tC.

I do worry about the watter getting on the battery and also the washer jets for the windshield wipers. By the look of things this would get in the way of the driver side jet.
I'm really hoping I'm wrong.

 

what is the point of this part? what benefit will my car have if I have one? will it cool the engine better? will it channel air into the cabin better?

 

It helps to cool the plastic engine cover... which is there to... ummm...

 

Its mostly there for looks but it does channel cooler/outside air into and over the engine compartment...Therefore, those running the short ram and possibly cold air air intakes will have better air flow...I'm the one currently rocking this piece and I was originally going to have a turbo and this thing would have been perfectly placed where my turbo sat...

Other than that, it's just another cool little gadget for our xD that Jim is willing to produce...

Jim, thanks for the update, the new piece looks great and can't wait to get it...Thanks for all your hard work...

 

Yes good to see a thread about gauging interest acually getting done as opposed to the other 99%

 

Any news on this?

 

I heard from Yelosub(who is the one beta testing) that there is a final design due to be released soon.

 

I will text Jim tomorrow and see how he's coming along...I know he's busy man and working hard and it should be anytime...I will let you all know...

 

any updates?

 

Are we there yet? Almost.
I've had the latest scoop done for a couple weeks now but keep getting buried in other orders. It seems like the show season is winding down now so I am seeing some time in the near future. I've got a couple projects I have to get out this week but I'm really going to do what I can to get something off to YELOSUB by the end of the week. Once that's done I should be able to start producing some parts right away.
I also have some tC owners waiting for a part and will try to have a prototype finished this week too.

 

Thanks Jim for the update
