Saleen in Aluminum?!
Precisely why I like this style as much if not more than any other. I know those white ones in the pics are 'glass, but I had heard/read that the Saleen hood is available in aluminum!! Anyone know anything about that?!?

Looks exactly like every single hood that an ebay user in California called express aero kits sells. Not that it is the same company, just saying they look exactly like their hoods.
If you think that unnamed one is ugly, you should see the one they call the spyder hood. Hidious.
The Saleen hood has promise. Not a fan of the Mach II, but if they make the Mach I version I would like to see it if possible.
Do they have metal reinforcement plates at the latch and hinge mount points? Can they be used with hood struts?
About the California Dreamin' style hood... Does he make the California Dreamin' hood for RK Sport? If not, isn't he risking himself by duplicating it and calling it the same thing?

You can ( or used to be able to ) get the aluminum Saleen hood right off of their web page. It was EXPENSIVE as hell, but orderable. $1500

He does have various sellers that sell his products, he has been making body kits and hoods and other various stuff for several years now and has entire lines for Mustangs all the way back to the Fox bodies, so it may be his stuff. He just makes it.
As for reinforcements I am sure it will these already had the propper threading all worked out for the bolts, but I wont know exactly until they are closer to being done.
He doesnt make the hood for RK Sport and this hood wont be called that from him, I just called it that in this thread because thats what people know it as and it doesnt have a name yet. But as for selling its legal as long as you say its a replica and dont put their name on it, hence all the knock off saleen and roush kits that have been produced for years by various companies.

Cali hood if you are staying w/ stock front end, Shelby if you are gonna do a GT500 front end conversion.
And Boltzman, I love that hood! Thought about going with it b4 I decided on the Shelby hood.

On a scale of 1-10 I'd give it an 8-9. My dream hood is the Foose hood with the shaker cutout.
Someday when it doesn't cost $1000 plus paint.

I dont know which hood mine will have on for this year (due to show obligations), its suppose to be something similar to the Cervinis and Ronaele Eleanor hoods, but wait to you see what I do after SEMA (or maybe for SEMA, dont know yet)

I'm torn between the Saleen and the Keystone / 3D Carbon "Boy Racer" hood. I guess I'll have to go with whichever accomodates a supercharger, as I'm looking at blowing my GT in the not-so-distant future.

as explained to me no, as long as you dont state it is an original or put the companies name on it, makes sense since people have been doing it for a while with the saleen and roush kits
