If you have the sport (aluminum) mirrors, put the stock trim ring back on!

Default Not a ton made, but the actual CF that was used was top notch

As you probably know, Vortrag was in Warren, MI

10 miles North of Detroit.....

Warren / Sterling Heights (next city over) is the car manufacturing mecca of the world. There are always "prototype cars" on the road. There's a ton of great industrial suppliers around here. I totally remember Todd of Vortrag talking about the CF being some of the best you could buy...

The guy who designed the hood was Rich Dode (doe-dee) Comes directly out of automotive body design.

IIRC, Vortrag had a group buy on these hoods and never did get them all delivered.

That's about all I can recall.....

That hood looks great!

Default thanks, I knew of his shop and actually talked with him a few times back in the day

they had some cool stuff and I always wanted their hood. I got lucky and found this one used last winter for $400. Thanks for the info.
