"losing" - to not win, to misplace, to remove
Sorry Leafy, just being a "grammar ****" here since this misspelling is my #1 "pet peeve" ever since I was spammed by a marketer trying to sell me a product that would make me "LOOSE WEIGHT NOW!!!".
Why would I want "LOOSE WEIGHT"?
Isn't that the stuff that hangs over your belt?
Who wants that?
Here's some others too: 10 Words You Need to Stop Misspelling - The Oatmeal
To get over this, I usually think of this cartoon:

Finished out the final design and submitted that to the waterjetter. Pretty excited about it. Material is being ordered and should have the final version before the weekend. Then it's the final install in hood, repeat pressure testing to confirm everything rocks, and open the group buy ![](https://www.miataturbo.net/images/smilies/smile.gif)

You guys kill me. This guy (Shane) obviously had an interesting and original design. It wasn't a game changer, but it WAS different. Shane says, "Hey, these were my idea. How about you guys respect my intellectual property," and even offers to do them for CHEAPER by cutting out the manufacturing mark up, and you guys bash HIM?!

hood vents, wing risers, hard top, and a splitter and my aero should be just about finished.

This are a great example (singular verb with plural subject) of one of the dangers of being a grammar ****.
It could be worse though. A school in Melbourne highlights its language expertise by including the word "Grammer" in its title.
Yes, my use of a singular subject with a plural verb were delibert.

I'm not a carbon queen, but $15 is peanuts. Do you have a mock drawing of what you're thinking? It'd be a lot easier to picture if we had pictures. :P
If it's small, low profile, something you'd have to look hard at to see that they're carbon, I'd go for it. But if they're large and showy I'd just as soon go aluminum 'cause they're getting painted (or ano'd).
Edit: This much carbon = blech

As for the hood vents, my .02 is that replacing cut out aluminum bracing with riveted stainless steel louvers that have dimension means that any bracing strength lost would probably be gained right back with the louvers.
