So.. Its not everyday the Geo Metro gets to park next to the these cars. Yes, those are real Group B cars, not replicas. Lancia Delta S4, Peugeot 205 t16, and the Audi Quattro s1 e2. Huge thanks to the dirtfish employee that let this happen and for them to bring these monsters out. If you dont know what these are, they are the most insane race cars ever built. Nothing will ever compare to them. Very few ever existed, and they were banned from Motorsports. Its a true honor to see them in person.

Hood scoop down! Can't win them all... we drill all the holes in these for the heat serts so its more accurate and true. This one went a bit too far. Don't worry, this is getting reprinted. Every scoop will have this level of print quality or they don't get shipped. Just definitely can't have that extra hole..

Parts are printing away.

Prototype cup holder for an 04 silverado with provisions to mount a supra shifter for an 8hp trans swap.

Prototype intake for the c5 corvette that will have an ls3 maf that will fit under the hood with an ls2 tb, fast 92 manifold and amt engine mounts. This will be the only one on the market like this, that will not hit the hood.

And of course! The 4runner scoop - all of these current orders should be getting shipped next week!

International buyers for the hood scoops - here is the ebay link to them. At this time, its the best option for international shipping. anybody can use it, only USA for the website currently

2003-2005 Toyota Rav4. OEM ATTACHES IT USING RIVITS, WHICH ARE NOT INCLUDED. Paint it or run it as is! An alternative if you are worried about it would be rubberized undercoating on the back, plasti-dip, or a very thin layer of silicone and let it cure before installing.

4runner and rav4 hood scoops are officially up on the site!

as previously mentioned, waiting on boxes to arrive so its setup as a preorder. At this very moment its only setup for free shipping within the USA. International orders will have to wait (sorry guys) until I get that setup, we are going to do a calculated shipping on that as its a bit more involved and expensive to do. We will also get this setup on ebay and I believe that will greatly reduce shipping costs for International sales.

Description These are hood scoops made from carbon fiber reinforced nylon (pa12cf plastic). These are 3d printed and do have signs of layer lines in some areas. Paint it or run it as is! It is a replacement for Toyota part number: 76181-35901   PLEASE VIEW ALL PICTURES AND SEE THE DISCRIPTIONS FOR ...

Alright 4runner and rav4 guys. These scoops will be on the site, and ebay later tonight. I will provide links for everything tonight.

The oem Toyota parts were on backorder... if you want any of those, well you will need to get them from Toyota. Are they required? Nope. If you do in fact want a barrier between the plastic and the paint, a rubberized under coating or maybe even plasti dip on the bottom could do the job, small bead of silicone etc. Just ideas. Cheaper easier alternative. The end user gets to make that decision.

International buyers outside the USA - ebay might be a better place to buy them as they offer a great shipping service for that.

I am waiting on boxes to show up, apparently I never finished that order a few weeks back so that will cause a slight delay in shipping. Let's say 2 weeks from today before any of them ship would be a good estimate.

The scoops are printing at this very moment. Currently about 5 a week can get made so there might be a slight delay if a ton of people order them right away. orders will be filled in the order they are placed. I know quite a few people have messaged me about wanting to buy one!

This just showed up. The final pulley for the 1996 Suzuki G10 engine! This is the Altrenator pulley. The plan is to also use an aluminum nut but its an odd size so we might have to make one of those too.. its light. We will do some weight comparison over the weekend and get it installed. Also working on sourcing a cheaper route to get these pulleys made, if you notice none of them are for sale on the site STILL. The prices are extreme... too extreme. Really wanting to change that. Still need to actually test the trigger wheel setup and get the EMS setup on that engine. Have not forgotten about it! It just has not happened yet. It is 100% in the plans still! Sorry for the very long wait to those who have been waiting.

The start to a new intake for the c5 corvette.
