Interest, Hood Vent

[JesusTheAgnostic]

My hood's all messed up so I think I'd be in for a few hundred maybe. Depending on whether you could get it to look a bit smoother. I know manufacturing costs would get crazy expensive though o:

I'm Definitely interested in the 2 piece smooth not raw with the center piece. Do you still plan to include the logo into them, would it be possible to have the connector have an RS logo?

Will need to discuss a few things.

1) Which direction you want the vents to face
a. Long Edge towards windshield
b. Long edge towards front of car

2) Mounting options
a. Rivets
b. Epoxy

3) Finish Option
a. Raw 3D print (color black unless otherwise specified)
b. Filled and Smoothed 3D print (primer)


I will try and get pics for each option.

That is doable. It's more like a filler than a connector, how well it covers the gap depends on how accurate you position the template and cut the holes. I wanted to make the logo light up and was looking into led strips small enough to fit under and illuminate the logo.

RS logo would look cool.

Nothing final, concept only.

looks like I'll have more work finding good spots to model points for the rivets to go. I'm also considering clips held by screws underneath.

I would just out some flat round recesses on the outside trim. End user can drill out and drill out the spot on the hood to mount

I am beyond excited to see what this girl continues to come up with. Custom designed parts from a sonic owner, for sonic owners is a major WIN/WIN for this community!

Buy her stuff and don't give her **** about pricing!

Great work Llia! Beastlick Approved!

Possible Rivet locations. Can be [strike]easily[/strike] filled and smoothed if you prefer.

I tired less than 10 points but it looked too sparse. I assumed 3/16 would be the largest hole anyone would use, and 1/8 the smallest.

Love it!

I will update Friday or Saturday at the latest. Just waiting to get the new vent design printed and see how vapor treating the print in post processing will help/hurt it.

Have you thought about making something to cover the cut on the inside of the hood?
Maybe as an additional part you can add to an order? I know a lot of people do shows and have the hood rough cut covered would probably be preferred.
