07-13 Rksport Silverado Ram Air Hood on 2040-parts.com
Murrieta, California, US
This hood features a functional Ram Air scoop for additional airflow to the engine compartment. It is made from hand laid fiberglass. It is sealed with a gray gel coat and is ready for prep and paint. Hood installs using hardware from the stock hood for a straightforward installation. This hood is new but was damaged in shipping and refused. Finish imperfections include some scratches and scuff marks in the gel coat and a chipped corner (left rear), which is shown in the photo. The same hood sells on our website everyday for $795.95. Some minor body work will make this hood as good as new. (See the rksport web site for more pics and details of the Silverado Hood).

First BMW i8 for US to be auctioned at Pebble Beach
Sun, 27 Jul 2014The Frozen Grey BMW i8 for Pebble Beach The other end of the scale from BMW’s i3 City Car is the BMW i8 Supercar and, despite its modest 1.5 litre range-extender engine for its electric propulsion it seems to offer proper borderline supercar performance. With just an estimated 500 BMW i8s heading for the US this year, BMW has decided it would be a bit of a wheeze to produce a one-off i8 for the US market to plonk in Gooding and Co’s auction at Pebble Beach in August to give one lucky American buyer the chance to jump the queue for the i8 and inject some funds in to Pebble. So they’ve created a special i8 for Pebble which comes with a Frozen Grey Metallic paint job and a titivated interior with Dalbergia Brown Leather upholstery that’s been dyed using plant extracts – all very ‘Green’ – with BMW i Blue for the stitching and highlights.
Man-made Modern Luxury Materials in Cars
Mon, 29 Sep 2008Luxury, within the context of a car interior, has been closely related to the use of wood and leather for over a century. These natural materials have a familiar organic, tactile quality that are intrinsically desirable attributes for most people and, in today's mass manufactured plastic world, they also assume a luxury or premium quality. Throughout the last century, metal, leather and wood have also been progressively supplanted by bakelite, vinyl and then polymer-based plastic materials in car interiors as well.
Toyota Camatte 57s concept
Tue, 11 Jun 2013You may remember last year we reported the unveiling of a customizable, modular little concept car called the Toyota Camatte at the Tokyo Toy Show. This year Toyota has returned with an updated version called the Camatte 57s with more scope for families to personalize their space-framed little machines with a total of 57 external panels (as its name suggests) as well as the removal of the roof which apparently "adds to the fun factor and allows everyone on board to enjoy the colorful exterior they have created". Like last year's car the driving position can accommodate both adults and children with gown-ups sat in the right rear seat able to intervene should the infant pilots go astray.
