W-type hoods for FD

Hey guys,

Not sure if my friend Huy has let you all know that we still can get some fiberglass hoods. We talked to the guy and he gave us a new discount on the hoods. Just consider it an after Christmas sale. I think the pricing is pretty good and will be hard to beat. I have a fiberglass one and a carbon fiber one myself. Although, I still need to get my car and my fiberglass hood painted, then it will look almost as good as Hedwig's FD. BTW, Hedgehog has a carbon fiber hood that he painted to match the car. That is one of the hoods that he got from us. Don't know his link of pics, but the hood and his car look pretty tight. Click on the link to find out more about the hoods. The fiberglass one is $325 plus shipping.

Interested

I'm interested if there are still any left. Can you let me know the price with shipping to Minneapolis, plus contact and payment issues.

Thanks!

I have no experience w/ the FRP version but I can say the CF one is pretty good. Lines are consistent and fit was no problems. Since it's a CF overlay and not a complete CF, vacuum-formed, and baked, it's not F1-car stiff. Expect to put on hood pins for high speed usage.

The clear coat was good enough to leave hood as CF. I decided to paint it only cuz that's my taste.
