Might as well just use a sticker overlay. You aren't going to save anything in weight.

I love my Stillen. There are others that do an oem style. Why do you want one? If it's for looks, that is cool but know it will only save you about 2lbs.

I could swear that I have seen one before but I can't find it now. You might be stuck with the stillen of nothing.
There are a few pics of mine in the Nismo group buy thread (pg 3).

There was a picture a while back of a fire-engine red sedan with a Gialla body kit. He had a really cool vented CF hood. I would like to know where that came from.

That is pestilence's car. I forgot about him. His hood is from Carbon Fiber One. He said not to buy it. Here is his quote:

You might ask him again. If the company sucks than you could get over that. If the product sucks than stay away.

As for the custom one if it is not too expensive that might work. At least warranty would be close and you would get out of import taxes from the US.

You might also talk to them about this forum and set up a thread to see how many others might be interested. If you can get a few people ready to buy when they see the finished product the shop might be willing to work with you more on the price.

I'm in Victoria. Depending on the design, I would be interested in one as well. I really like the look of the one pestilence has. Perhaps it could be built to satisfy the clearance requirements of the SC and get more people interested as well. If the numbers are there, it should bring the price down for everybody.
