We need atleast 10 people to get them made. I was gonna start a thread but the fact is no one will dish out 450-500 bucks for a hood on there protege. So finding 10 people seemed kinda Impossible. It would have to be for the 90-93 protege. Im down anyone else?....Jon

I should be comeing into a little bit of money here in a little while. I don't wanna say yeah and not be able to back it up. So are they gonna be regular hoods or have some kinda hood scoop on 'em?
I was actually thinking about fabricateing some stuff off of a 2000 Mustang and makeing a scoop out of it, but i don't know.

pretty sure they fit, they both have the same square hoods. wont fit the 94 with the modified 323 hood.
anyways, id pay $300 max for a cf hood. anymore than that, screw it.
id jus get a roll of the plastic CF LOOK stuff, that u stick on the hood then cut it to the dimensions. Looks like the CF dash kits u get for ur cars.....
just another idea

I think that has to be on the top 5 list for ultimate ricer mods. If I saw that in person...I don't know what I would do... 
besides fall to the ground laughing.
