Aftermarket Hoods?
I know there have been posts of people who have made hoods but is there anywhere or anyone that makes them? i was going to get one from 13BEEF but he is taking forever. Is there anywhere or anyone that you guys know of where i can buy one?

Mariahmotorsports.com has a fiberglass one with a duct.
|
other than that one. Im not a huge fan of that hood
|
Why cant you wait for 13BEEF's hoods. Those are the best hoods IMO. Very worth the wait

I know i love his vented hood but i have had a shit hood for like 4 months waiting on him. anyone know how long?

Im not sure the function/look your going for, but you can do a lot yourself if your able. I ordered this cowl scoop off ebay made for a camaro. A drill, 10mm wrench, 10mm socket, rachet, and a trip to the home depot for bolts/washers was all I needed. Pictures not the best, but you hopefully get the idea

This ones a little better. Also dont forget paint, fortunately black goes with just about anything, even if yours is also hard to match the color of also

I am still doing my best to get good quality CF and fiberglass hoods right for you guys. As with other parts i am persistant and won't give up.

The vent sits nicely behind OEM radiator fan/shroud and definitely makes a noticable difference to underhood temps :icon_tup: |
Damn there is a huge diffrence in the quality of 13 BEEF's hood and the Home Depot hood. Not knocking anyone, I just think your better off waiting for that CF hood because those hoods 13 BEEF has are sweeeet! :icon_tup:
|
I LOVE 13BEEFs hood! I just need one soon!
|
+1 for 13 beef!!! damn!
|
It takes time to make a nice quality cf hood and thats what 13beef is making. He is very talented in what he does. It is very well worth the wait. I'm sure its not the only thing he does( making parts for our cars that is), He's busy and he just can't work on the hoods all the time.
|
Oh ya he's also making it vented so there's more time that is worth the wait and he's making it very clean by the looks of it. GOOD JOB on all of your work 13BEEF.
|
When will he be selling them? I'm also waiting.. Hopefully a few more months..
|
Well no one said he has a mold to work with carbon fibre how am I supposed to compare to that?? MAN thats a nice hood!!! Absolutely beautiful! Can I revoke my pics now? Seeing them together is depressing... Hahaha
