Here! These might be a little better. And as far as delivery . . . it helps to live in Seal Beach. Peter is about 4 miles from here.

The short answer . . yes! The short story . . . I picked the scoop up this PM from Peter. I took it home, but only had about 10 minutes before an appointment. I knew I wouldn't be back until after dark and I wanted to take a couple of photos (no flash was available), so I just took off the stock scoop and put the new one in it's place, but without actually attaching it. Then I shot the images.

When I came home I buttoned it down and it sat flush. If I have an opportunity within the next few days, I'll do an update. Chances are, however, that by then other photos will be posted.

I figure Mark would spread the joy, and here's more....The unit was placed on
Bill K's Cosworth hood, not bolted in for tighter fit.

Marks unit was the first out of the mold and more will ship on Monday.
If you are expecting a fiberglass version wait no more we re shipping a fair amount of units on Friday. And I also would like to thank you all for waiting so patiently, I do appreciate it (expect a special gift with the hood scoop).

All props to everyone involved in creating and making this product available. It satisfies in both form and function. I've taken 2 more shots under better conditions (still a crummy PDA camera) that show the ram intake fully attached.

Thank JS and I are eagerly waiting to have them on our Minis next week. I'm hoping to also receive a CF version from the next batch. The first batch were snatched by people who were obviously more important than us

Uhhh! Probably not more important. But, definitely "right place/right time" sensitive.

Yes . . . yes . . . happy with the result . . . happy with the result (to the tune of Dustin Hoffman as Rainman).

There are minor fitment issues due to my GRS intercooler and it's diverters, but the trusty Dremel will prevail.

Oh no!! Now I want the CF!!!
Anyone interested in a fiberglass option painted JET BLACK?? I checked my Card and its been already charged and possibly shipped my way as we speak.
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
I think the combo of CF scoop with and the new front splitter for the Aero Kit would be perfect.
Didn't think my soon to be wife would like it but after checking out the pic she loves it.
