What do you guys think of SLP's new hood.
Features included are crush initiators; internal water-control baffles; coated internal mounting hardware; fully-formed and coated air intake grills; unique design with either an integral fresh-air intake scoop for added horsepower and/or hot-air extractors scoops for better under-hood cooling; all trim, drill and bond operations performed on CNC robots; dedicated bonding fixtures; tightly-controlled tolerances ensure an excellent fit to the vehicle for an original looking appearance and ease of installation; molded-in gelcoat finish; dedicated packaging for easy handling, warehousing, and shipping. One available option is for SLP to prep and prime any POWERPRODUCTS hood.

I actually designed it and producing 6 a day. They are available to the puplic. the picture does not do it justice. I'll post other pictures tomorrow. The reaction at shows has been incredible. There is a feature that does not come out on pictures, there is a sort of flat spot in front of the grille that matches the shape of the radiator cooling grille on the bumper.

I'll have to find out what brand the wheels were, but i remember the offset was stock, 18" along with eibach springs. The total ride is awesome. As for prices;
MSRP prices are
SLP Tuner Hood lift off hood requires 4 hood pins (non-functional) $197.15
SLP Tuner Hinge mount requires 2 front hood pins (non-functional) $262.51
SLP Powerproduct gel coat (functional) $ 659.55 US
SLP Powerproduct primed (functional) $ 854.49 US
Until we develop a safe way to use carbon fiber we wont be offering it. Carbon fiber hoods are 30-50 times more rigid than a stock hood. In the event of an accident they wedge into the passeger compartment. Not a pleasant taught. The hood is designed to crumple in the event of an accident.

Nice looking hood.
Is this SLP, as in Street Legal Performance? If so, when did SLP start making import parts? If not, it's bad enough to use a name that's already established in the aftermarket industry. . . then to use their logo, too?!SLP Engineering
