Anyone have a carbon fiber hood on their FC?
 

answer the question and how did you take care of it? any solution thanks.
:D

not sure what u mean by take care of it please elaborate. T2 hood ftw

ya and i took care of it by putting it on and if you meant care like cleaning then yes i wash it normally and have waxed it

yeah, waxing, all of that stuff trying to keep the cf hood nice and new.

just treat it like the rest of the car body. if its from a good company it should be cleared w/ a UV protectent to prevent fading

I don't have one yet, but it's getting painted when I do. If I want to show off the carbon fiber, they can look at the underside.

Keep it covered or inside the garage durring hot sunny days.

Waxing And Not Going Trhough Fields And Not Loosing Control

Wax on wax off.

Waxing.

My hood was mint until this summer. I got lazy and let thr rain/dirt and sun attack my car for about 3 months.

I washed it last week and saw some nasty oxidized looking sections :( I think I need to a bit of rubbing compound to get it out.

I seen what sun damage does to CF, and all I have to say is DAMN! My buddy's evo spoiler was hella faded after about a month of being lazy!

Car cover mang

I plan to get a cabon fiber T2 hood and it will be waxed and washed religously and covered when under high sunlight

^^^^^^^^y?

If you're gonna waste $$ on a CF hood why not have a functional vented hood?? Even if you DO go turbo do you PLAN on keeping the top mount?

Yeah I wax mine every time I wash the car, The key is to keep the top coat moisturized. If not, it will fade and crack. Also when I dont drive mine, it is under a car cover.

this is a freshly waxed CF hood

What hood is that?

thanks.

if you don't know...... you can't afford it. :lol2:

I guarantee you i can :P

Mind telling me now please :D

*Edit - nvm, found it.

Just glad I could say, "Oh well. Not my car!"

i think it's VIS but i'm not 100% sure on that.

I was just wondering... why do people get carbon fiber T2 style hoods if they have a front mount intercooler? seems pointless to me. Also, these "carbon fiber" hoods only have a tiny ass layer of carbon fiber on them. It's not like they are really carbon fiber hoods. A real carbon fiber hood would cost a few GRAND.
