know of anywhere that does a fiberglass t2 hood replica?
most people here sell thier t2 hoods for 300-400, and CF is 600 right now... if i am going to buy a hood i not going to get ripped off buying a 15 year old hood for the price of a fiberglass one... or a few hundred less than a CF one.

Try pricing a TII hood from the dealer. The deppreciation (sp?) is over 50-60% of the original price. They are made of metal and don't wear unless they have been dammaged. You never hear of people replacing their TII hood that "went out" or "went bad"

Yeah I understand that... its just like FDs everyone wants them, so the prices are still up there. I was just seeing if anyone was making them out of fiberglass, since i don't personally like the carbon fiber look

I personally want the lightest possible stock NA hood. Maybe a vent or two. Maybe.
