Kev has already contacted them.

Alright, i'm in but on a couple of conditions.
1/ Cost including postage <$600
2/ There's another NSW member getting it too who can pick the fitting and spraying place so I don't have to make a decision :)

I suppose it has been put on hold for a bit.

its still there as an option, just doesnt seem to be much interest here at the moment.

If anyone is keen though i'm sure he will make just one or 2, might be a bit more expensive.

oh ok, must have read different area on the forum, as a lot of people seemed pretty happy with theres?

I think the guy, is still new to his craft. I heard he is making every panel on his car out of carbon fibre... so hopefully once that is done he will have perfected it! still its weird that some guys got perfect bonnets and some didnt.....


I know my mates heatshield / airbox looks very cool and very secure, but it didnt 'look' 100% professional if that makes sense.

not yet shue. I want to change my intake pipe first so want to make sure I can do this without changing my air filter etc first. Dont want to have the airbox made, then when I change the intake pipe the filter doesnt fit (and or pipe etc).

Will still get it done, but once my i get the pipe done first.

yes probably will be similiar to Indy's 'u like' front bar, although it hasnt been totally designed yet, so therefore, if you have a specific design request, now is the time to make it =)
