Default Quality FG Hood interest

I've seen several threads where folks are in need of a good quality FG hood. Is this true? I was speaking with Joe about the possibilities of making one. After seeing the quality of his splitter I would have no doubt it would be perfect. So, he'd be into making it if there's enough interest. There would be one version, probably dependent on the most popular needs. I think it would have his vents incorporated into the hood. Anyone other than me interested?

I'd have to ask Joe, but I wouldn't expect an answer until the first pull is done. With my experience in past projects I can tell you it would be significant.

Id be in for a cost effective OEM spec solution. Has to be paint ready too, no FG work involved prior to paint.

Lately, I've been craving one with an extractor behind the intercooler. Don't know why. Here pretty soon, the car should just be a weekend car anyway.
