why is it so hard to find a non carbon fiber hood. I dont want carbon fiber, i dont want a black hood. Can anyone point me to where i can find fiber glass? or did everyone just stop making hoods and kits for the FD. Everywhere i have looked they have 1 kit and a carbon fiber hood...??? whats going on?

 

whats wrong with CF ?

 

well, do people generaly paint over they're carbon fiber parts? i honestly dont know. wouldnt the cross hatched pattern show under the paint? I dont find anything wrong with carbon fiber i just want to paint my hood the same color as my car, i dont want a black hood.

 

I've saw carbon fiber parts painted body color before. So long as its a smooth surface and painted correctly you wont be able to see the weave...

 

anyone here have painted CF?

 

many times painted CF will accumalate hairline cracks and spider all over the place...the painting process must be done correctly...its very tidious do to the finish that the CF has...paint has a hard time with adhering with it...even with a couple coats of prime or what not

 

thanks for that info, i didnt know that. so it seems getting a hood i woould like isnt happening...

 

well i just went to vividracing and saw a RE hood i want, in fiberglass, very sweet

 

Shine makes all of their hoods in fiberglass, too. If you want something that they make in fiberglass but they don't currently have any stocked, I'm sure they would make you one. They make all of their pieces locally, I believe.
