There is actually a lot of differences between the two. The Panspeed looks more geared to a H-mount type setup, the vent is further forward on the hood and the lower edges of the vent are almost perfectly parallel to the ground when the hood is closed. The vent is also slightly more wide and much longer with more lip on the vent. The GK has a more narrow and angled opening. On another note, the FCs I've seen running a GK hood all had front mounts.:rofl:

Yea - I am using FMIC but still want the panspeed.. honestly, the GK would have my vote if it had the additional exhaust vent...

Shine hasnt released an update on the hood though or a CF price... I'm in no rush, but it would be good to know, lol...

Either one of those I would have to modify for my setup as I want the hood ducted to the intercooler. Something about the GK hood though appeals to me more.

Regardless, I'm building my own for now. Don't know when it'll be done, but I'm doing it.

AND it's done

That's pure sex and a half.

That is very nice. Amazing amount of work to perform as well. Like others have said. Offer it up to the reproduction gods ASAP. My girls FC needs that.

Looks like there is finally some progress, lulz.

He said they're further along than what's shown in this picture.

I can see it now... me having 3 hoods(TTT hotness, GK, Panspeed) and using the excuse of "1 for the track, 1 for car shows, and 1 for the street"

Everything about that hood looks too abrupt to me now. I think it's time to get in touch with Rob (fiberglass guy)

Which hood the PS or yours? I still think I'm going to do the PS hood if they ever finished it. I actually emailed Ken on Tuesday and told him I'm ready to buy it now if he's close to being finished. I'd really like to get my car to paint before the wedding! I really just need this hood and the front bumper... the side skirts I can deal with after the paint if needed....

looks great Titanium!

Thanks Phoenix.

Looks like Shine finally made some progress and Bill is set for a deposit......... so what are the chances of your FC being @ DGRR '10? :suspect:

HA - I'm going to guess at the rate everything is moving that it wont be ready for DGRR '10 so for NOW I'll let you hold that "Best FC" title, but DGRR 2011 its all mine :)

But seriously, I've been talking to Ken at length over the last few weeks. I called him yesterday to put the deposit down on the hood and some other aero parts, but with my wedding coming up and the honeymoon afterwards, I wont see those things until mid-late October. It does sound like Shine will have the hoods ready to go in about two weeks though for anybody who's on the list. So far I'm the only CF one I know of...
