but we're going to need some votes/interest. I'm going to volunteer my Vibe for the prototyping, if they need it. I'm guessing $300-$350 per hood in CF, more if in fiberglass. I'd rather have it CF, then be able to paint it later if I want to. Besides, a set of blue anodized MOMO hood pins will look sweet Here's a link, but wait to vote until Blumatrix03 puts up a new Vibe thread:

Is this what they're going for when they say caldina style?

Actually, check out the MO thread I posted...plenty of pics there, with this one being the best:The lines he drew in are those on the Matrix hood.

I don't know about you guys, but this looks to me to be on the Corolla, Matrix, Vibe, Voltz Platform.

That is a relly nice looking car. Kind of a love child between the Vibe and the Mazda 3 with a little Trix thrown in for good measure. The hood isn't too bad looking. I still prefer the raised "ram air" style hood.

I wish I could get the ram air hood that you guys have for my Matrix!
