Yea, those are the only pictures he has. Not really sure why, know I would have plenty more.

He doesn't have ones for the smaller ones, just the front 4

$99 for the rear set
$99 for the front set


I'd definitely be interested in group buy, especially if that means I could get a center vent as well. He said he'd want 6 orders for the center vent

From what i can tell he really isnt planning on making anything new unless there is a group (6) or if you want a one off item you bite the bullet on the development costs. he quoted me about $400 for the center one alone if i really wanted him to do it. This seems to be a side thing to him. He said he has had these available for over 3 years and has only sold half a dozen. Im sure if a few more people were seriously interested in them he would. If the rears do become available Id buy a set of those as well

First time i've seen these. Obviously word hasn't' gotten around or he would have sold more.

Also, i'd make the louvers about .5-1cm taller based on the picture to make them more effective. I believe they need to stick out in order to create low pressure and draw air from under the hood.

Here's a response from Shane regarding that:

That has already been done. The photos I sent and even the photos on my website are not of the final version where the height of the louvers has been increased. The look and shape are exactly the same, but the louvers do stick up thru the hood much farther on this final version. The difference in actual height of the louvers (relative to the surface of the hood) is nearly 7/16". So, it appears that the photo I sent you shows the louver blades about flush with the top of the hood. The new version will have the tops of the louver blades sticking above the surface of the hood by about 7/16".....which is a significant change....closing in on 1/2".

How many other people would be interested in a set for the rear? 6 sounds like the magic number for savings to happen. He says he's willing to design a one off as long as the buyer eats the development cost
