Getting that compound curve in the middle would be fun..
If were going to go to that much trouble, I'd make a mold out of a steel hood and do CF...

CF kinda expensive. Why dont people like fiberglass. The diffrence in price is far greater than the diffrence in weight. Just me though, Id do a fiberglass. If i mess up then Im not out a ton of cash.

The same principles apply, and you use the same techniques. But carbon fiber it nothing like fierglass when it comes to doing a good job. You cannot see air bubbles under the cloth, and its a PITA to get the surface smooth and even. It is not for someone who isnt already proficient with fiberglass. Especially a hood.

I have family who do boat fiberglassing. I think he has a gun. So are you recomending me use FG? I made this hood vent with a brush. I would concider buying a gun if I decide to do a full FG/CF hood.
