Hey guys,
The wizard is back at it. Just wanted to give ya'll the inside scoop. Trilogy Motorsports is currently offering fiberglass hoods for the marauder. Can you hear the E.T.'s falling? It saves 52-54 pounds off the front end. Currently there are 10 available hoods, and of course more will be offered if the demand is there. :banana2:

Couple of questions:

1) Do all the OEM hinges, latches, underhood light, underhood insulator fit?

2) Are they pre-painted black?

Any word on price? How about shipping?I second that request...

Also, how about paint/prep...do they come "ready to install"?

*EDIT* I see the 'Nut beat me to it... :)

Price is currently $900.00
Since the hoods are about 35 lbs, shipping would probably be (guesstimating) about $40.00.

They are not prepainted black (because of the multiple colors available). As we know, all OEM fixtures align with the fiberglass hood.

At least we know that it will be @ 50 lbs lighter to ship than an OEM hood. So get the specs on an OEM hood, minus@ 50 lbs, take measurments, punch it in at UPS.com, and cha-ching.....a pretty darn good estimate on shipping costs. Hope this helps.

IMHO I think a Ram Air would be great but I think it would stick out like a sore thumb. When I placed my order with Rich we got to talking about the roundness and smoothness of our MMs and it make sense. A Ram Air hood would disrupte the smooth flow look. I would personally like to have a Heat Extractor hood or Cobra R cowl hood, they both keep the stream line but would give the Marauder a meaner :mad2: look. Either way whatever comes out by triology I will be happy with and end up buying :lol: :beer: . If I could get my hands on a Marauder hood for cheap I could just use sheet metal and fiberglass to make a Heat Extractor hood like I've done for several friends that just wanted the look and save money.

The fiberglass hood I just ordered for my stang costed 100$ to ship to my buddy at a dealership to save an additional 30$ thats charged for home delievery.

Yes their light but they are large and they don't just slap a sticker on the hood to ship it. Usually the boxing/crating to keep it safe on its journy weighs more than the hood.

And, most importantly, who else is going to be running this hood? I need a glimpse at my competition! I started working on a hood and it is moving slowly (low volume production is a b!tch!), so it looks like I will just buy one from Jerry.

Not to be a pain in the A$$, and YES! I love the idea of a fiberglass MM hood, BUT I weighed my OEM steel hood at just under 60 LBs.
With a 35 LB fiberglass hood, that would put our weight savings at @ 24 Lbs.
Anyway, I'm still very interested. Looking forward to some pictures!

4) Does you have any plans for a cowl hood?
Currently, as mentioned above we fabricated 10 to test the market for
demand. If demand warrants it, Im sure it might become a possiblity.

O.K. Everyone,

I need to fill in the blanks and correct some things before we get way out of wack.

1. Scott is our new employee and he is a great asset to our team. I hope he enjoys working with us as much as we enjoy working with him. I think you will see him at a lot of the races this year. When I can't make it he will be one of the crew doing the work and the driving.

2. I was told that the hood weight is 90 lbs. If that is not correct, please let me know. But, the hood we are WORKING on I am told will be between 36-38 lbs.

3. Pictures will be a while. I have just concluded negotiations today and it will be a couple of months before we see the finished product.

4. I have placed an order for 10. I wanted to see what everyone's interest was. I guess I know now. So it looks like we will offer the first batch of 10 and take orders when I am comfortable that it will be a quality product with a firm delivery date. Look for June delivery. Any subsequent shipments will be a couple of months after that.

5. Yes, we are also working on a Carbon Fiber hood. It will be very pricey, but some people will want it, I am sure. Me for one.

6. Yes, it will use the factory attachment points and hardware.

7. Custom shapes and cowls, etc. may, I repeat MAY, occur later. But, I really appreciate everyone's feedback on this subject. I am not crazy about scoops, but a cowl heat release would be tasteful.

8. This whole project started out researching the BODY KIT everyone has asked us to make. But, I want to review the quality of the products and wanted to start with something small to test the manufacturing process, shipment timing, shipment damage, fit, etc. So, if this goes well we will take the next step and research the many body kit requests. We have just finished installing the body kit on Marauder #1.

But, let me say if the quality is not great and the price is not reasonable for a very limited production run, then all bets are off. I won't put my name on a piece of crap, regardless of the profit margin. Our business is superchargers. But, we listen and if it works for all parties we will considering offering these products.

As Scott and I were discussing, the Marauder Group is very passionate and enthusiastic. We never thought we would have got this much feedback so quickly.

I am not taking anyone's money until I AM COMFORTABLE that this will turn out as we anticipate. So, please be patient with us. We will keep everyone informed and give you the information as quickly as we have it.

I hope that answers your questions. Thanks for the feedback, it's what makes us pursue these things.

We have a lot of new products coming out. We will keep all of you informed as we feel comfortable that the outcome will be acceptable.

Thanks

Jerry

Can we start some type of poll to see what kind of hood everyone would want? OEM fiberhood, Twin Port Ram Air hood like on the silver MM in on page 1, Cobra R cowl, Cobra R cowl with heat extract and Cobra heat extract hood. This might be a good way to see who wants what. I do agree with Jerry about how a cowl heat extract would be tastful but id still like to keep the oem shape of the hood with the downward heat extractors.

I can understand Jerry's reluctance until he sees and tests the finished product.

I bought a prototype Ram Air hood for my Dodge Ram truck back in 95 and it was great for about 2 years. Then the fiberglass pieces (top and bottom) started to come apart at the seam near the windshield. I called the Hood maker and he indicated they ran the first 200 of them using a glue/laminate process that did not work and they were having problems with those hoods separating. It was not the mfg's fault but faulty glue/laminate that was the blame. Needless to say I got the first "Shaker Scoop Style" hood that this company was working on for free:burnout: . All in all it turned out very well.

I would love to see a ram air type hood for the Marauder like the Silver one I saw on one of the pictures here. I would urge Jerry to jump on this as I would definetely buy one. :banana:

Excellent idea! I too think that the '03/'04 Cobra heat extractors would look, and function great!
They would preserve the clean lines of the Marauder.
IMHO the Marauder's design and look does not lend itself to 'Muscle Car' hood scoops & cowls.

Heh...
That might have been their story, but don't discount the possibility of them just plain having used cheaper materials. Back in the late 90s when everyone and their aunt (the uncle was busy) were trying to get post-98-WS6-style hoods on their Firebirds, aftermarket producers had some pretty good prices on their hoods. And not surprisingly, either: it wasn't made of the same material as OEM and they most likely hadn't really put any money towards crash and durability testing (the design of the underhood bracing on the OEM hoods is really cool, and shows where they are meant to give during an impact and where they distribute the forces).

Within a year of those aftermarket hoods flooding the market, there were numerous reports of the upper layers of the hood peeling right off at highway speeds. Not being reinforced in any decent way, these upper layers would peel right back up against the windshield and if you were lucky it would rip off and at least allow you to pull over to clean your driver's seat off.

Those companies still appear to be in business (ie. ASCD (not related to the real ASC), Suncoast, etc.) so I'm hoping they wised up and put some money into producing a quality product.

Martyo,

Your hood will have the special steel rod reinforcements for added strength and weight(ha ha). Oh, and lets not forget the brick duct tape to the inside.

Gulp.......

I wanted to take a minute to thank Joe Walsh for letting me know about the weight of the hood. Joe says its about 60 lbs. At 60 lbs. I don't know if the weight savings and the benefit is enough to warrant making the fiberglass hood. The carbon fiber should be about 8 lbs, from what I am told. So the better option may to let Zack make a custom hood with some style built in and I will focus on the carbon fiber hood with stock appearance.

Joe thanks for the info!

I don't think you're going to hear much back on this topic from Jerry. From what I last heard, he walked away from the idea. He did this because although he was the first person/vendor to seriously consider meeting this need, it was quickly followed by "others" on MM.net calling for members to contact other hood vendors such as Cervini.

The huge expense of getting the project off the ground isn't worth it if folks want to be fickle about the program and their commitment.

That's the last I heard.

Well I hope your info isn't accurate. From past posts and different sources, Cervini's does not and will not do custom hoods. Not even for a Mustang.:eek: I know someone that just came from a swap meet they were at and asked them about a 5" cowl hood for a Cobra. They said no. There is someone else I know that will back that statement up.

I still am looking forward to this hood if it still happens.

When you are there, ask him two questions for me:

1. Where's my Diet Mountain Dew?

2. Whether he wants to meet up at Bristol, TN FFW before we make my car really fast for the Fat Car Shooutout in Atlanta in the fall? :D
