Too late guy i alrady have a guy that is making it for 500 plus shipping i am sending out a hood to make the mold this week ill have mine in 3 weeks

 

is this a regular hood or a TII hood?

 

t2 for mine ill be posting all the info when i get mine back i dont want to stir feathers until i get the mojo on my hojo

 

I'm interested in an N/A hood in CF.

Please email me with more details and if there is a quality guarantee as this can vary big time with who is making them.

Also final weight of the hood is very important as I have an aluminum hood already and want to shave more weight off if possible.

Ah sweet.. yea better not to get the hype going and the emails flowing until you know you have a solid product. I'm curious about the quality and fitment ..

If it goes through, put me down for a TII hood (or modified).

like i said mine is going to be a stock oem turboII cf hood it is a t2 hood because it is the only mold the guy asked for i dont know why.?

Sir sun man im not trying to overshadow you let me know who your working with and what not maybe we can work together in getting a variety of hoods made?

 

yea i want to see not just carbon fiber tII hoods. i wouldnt mind seeing a oem style carbon fiber hood. anyone got any pics?

 

id like a cf tII hood

 

me too, but 500+ is a little too much for my checkbook.

 

I would take and NA or a vented. I don't care which one of you makes it.

yeah, i would like an N/A style CF hood. Yum Yum, that and a FMIC. soooweeeeeeeeeeeeeee

 

wow another...cf hood thread...how many of these actually work out?????

 

I'm in for a CF TII hood...500 is a decent price, all the cheapy ones for 300 and such are made like **** and fit worse and are heavy since they only use a thin layer or two of carbon on top of a heavy fiberglass mold. weight and fit is important. If you post pics of your final on the car with a weight I'm sure you'll have a LOT of buyers.

 

Put me on the list for a N/A hood

 

T2 scoop is the only hood for me. hell, i think its the best looking part of the car. makes it look so aggresive. besides, my car is turbo and i want everyone to know that.

 

Yea hook me up with a N/A hood also...give me more details when you get them.

I have an 1990 GTU. So email me or PM me ok? Thanks

A full Fiberglass hood weighs 12 pounds. I've heard a CF hood weighs around 8. So, even if it were a 5-layer hood, 2 were CF, and 3 were FG, it would still only weigh a little over 10 pounds. Even if you have the lightest Aluminum hood made for our cars, that's still a 50+% weight savings.

If the cost of 2½ times as much CF, for 2 pounds worth of weight savings is worth it to you, then you have more money than sense, or you should've had a one-off CF hood made by now.

I don't mean this to be too harsh, but CF doesn't weigh THAT MUCH LESS than FG. The only reason, I would think, most people prefer CF is because of the looks; seeing as it can't be price, the $:# ratio is sooo much better for FG than CF. And the $ difference could be better spent on go-fast mods.
