I've seen this once and it was plastic and hydrodipped CF pattern but man I'd love to see a cf plenum cover. Anyone else have any interest in some engine bay cf? I know Cobb has their stuff in cf and it looks pretty sharp.

Yeah when I had my BMW CF made it was just as nice maybe nicer than the HP carbon fiber. I have never seen the AC CF but everything was great from looks to fit. and I am in these way less than AC, I had 10 sets made for myself and a few buddies and will probably throw the others on Ebay or something.
I’m in for one of the ten!

I would be first in line for a stock fitting and appearing CF hood piece but perhaps an inch taller to be little more aggressive than the original.

Be careful about building anything with Ford, F150, or Raptor on it, Ford Licensing takes that very seriously and could come after you. It has happened to a number of vendors here. Good luck...
I dont think it would a problem for them to CAD in an inch or so, I can ask them.
Yeah I think if i made a ton of pieces that would be a problem, I plan to make 10-20 tops on each and if I would get a C&D order then I would stop. I don't want to abuse the relationship I have with the team vendor and also not trying to make this a lively hood. Just kind of a side thing.

Add my name for stock hood vent and sides as well as mirror covers if you decide to make them.

Those came out really nice. Be careful, I'm sure you're about to get bombarded with messages about how someone could get their own.
OK, I will bite! How much and when can we buy them? :p
SO full disclosure, I am into these for about 400 each for the complete set. That has everything included, design, mold for first set, shipping has to go to the shop in Indy and then to me. The box is too big to take on the plane when I go out there for work and back. So that's about it. I had 10 made, myself and 4 fellow raptor buddies used 5. I have 5 left. I was going to put them on ebay for 600 but on here I would sell them for 500 + shipping. It took about 45 minutes to install, most of that is removal of double sided sticky tape and residue on the hood vent. All stock hardware is retained and reused.

Let us know here as they'd be grabbed up pretty fast. I'd be in for a set.
