I know there is a GD for these, but the car is in the body shop and I need one now... I will pay more and shipping, I just need to get it this week if possible! I have tried many vendors with no luck, so if anybody knows a place that has them IN STOCK, your help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Which hood do you have? If Redlinemax, do you have pics of the underside and latch?

Jason R

i do have the redlinemax.com CF hood and definitely would not buy another one.

vsamoylov

i suggest you do not buy from redlinemax.com, buy from gtp. they have a good quality hood that weighs 19.5 pounds, rolled edges and fitment is excellent. i got it comming in soon.

so i see youre going to fix the max and not move on. it should look real good on your car if you can find one.

nismoluvr

Yeah I decided I had too much sweat and tears in that thing to just let it go and get a new one.... Got a fat insurance check so I am tryin to play with some parts now..... Should be a good time, if I can find a FRIGGIN HOOD!!!!!!

Out of Stock is the phrase of the week!

max83

Why do you say that? I bought mine from there and loved it, it fit perfectly and looks great.

Silvia

After looking at the GTP hood, I feel its a better design then my redline hood. I wish I wouldve waited.
I feel you about wanting to get it asap but why cant you wait.
Couldnt you buy a cheap OEM hood,many are selling them since theyve bought CF ones and just wait untill their available.
The redline hood does have some fitment issues which can be dealt with but the finish is what gets me.Its kinda ruff on the edges and I wasnt impressed with the latch assembly. Especially when it came installed backwards.

vsamoylov

installed backwards? what is up with redline? i heard they are good to deal with and then this.

I also have a gtp hood quality is great and fitment is by far better than redline and fiber images..plus they use a clear coat on the hood so its glossy compared to a fiber images hood. BUT the fiber images hood is lighter. If you are into racing every pound counts and try to track down a fiber image hood if not get a gtp hood.

vsamoylov

and how much lighter is it? 19.5 pounds is already light compared to stock 44 pounds.

Battle Max

iTrader: (12)

well i have had both a fiber image hood and a GTP hood. I believe the F.I. hood is around 9 lbs the hood is on slammed95's car but i think it is around 9 pounds.

Silvia

thanks we took picture right when i decided to do some work on it

so that was fairy stock

and 9 pound?? hmm no skeleton then?

BLAZIN

so exactly why do you need this hood so quickly so badly?

Flava_24/7

iTrader: (46)

As far as customer service goes they are great. Ange was great to deal with and helped me with all my questions and tracking.

nismoluvr

......Under your name on the left of you post reads "I need to read the FAQ and IMPORTANT threads before posting a question"..... I disagree fully.... I think you should read a friggin thread from start to finish before adding a post... I need a CF hood because my car is in the shop getting fixing... I need a hood, and I can spend $500 on replacing STOCK with paint (pearl) or get a CF which is lighter, better looking, and more rare...

vsamoylov

9 pounds is very light.

nismoluvr

Caesar check your pm's!

Battle Max

iTrader: (12)

yea the FI hood was very light it did have an under skeleton also it was double sided cf like the gtp hood.

vsamoylov

how much $?

Battle Max

iTrader: (12)

i picked up my gtp hood for 325 directly from gtp. I know asking price for the hood is 400 but if you have the gift of gab they are letting people have em for 350.

vsamoylov

can u get a me discount? and how much is shipping usually for the hood?

Battle Max

iTrader: (12)

unfortunatly i dont think i can the reason i saved was because i was able to pick it up directly from them. But just try giving them a call and see if you can set something up with them. Shipping for a hood is usually around 100-150 bucks shipped to a shop. Try going to your local speed shop and see what they can do for you. Good luck.

DoGGy

how much does the stock hood weight?

I personally saw two redline CF hoods. They fit perfectly. I saw a fiberimage CF hood. That one fit like crap. I dont know what it is

nismoluvr

Well I got myself hooked up with a hood... I can't speak for quality of the hood, but I can say that Ange at Redline was AMAZING to deal with. I got hooked up with a dealer account with her yesterday, told her I needed a hood asap to get the car out of the shop, and she told me she was all sold out... So I was kinda bummed, but then today I get a call on my cell phone and she told me she got a hood for me. That to me is very important, knowing that the company you are dealing with is lookin out for you. She is gonna hook me up with a tracking number asap and offered a lot of tips for the hood... If the hood fits as good as their customer service, I will be VERY VERY satisfied. Thanks ANGE!!!!!!!!!!

Flava_24/7

iTrader: (46)

Yeah, like I said before. Their Customer service is great. It even came quicker then she, and the freight Co. quoted me.
In all, its not a bad hood. Just perhaps not the best.
If the edges were cleaner, Id be more satisfied.
Fitment to me will always be an issue with aftermarket parts.

vsamoylov

how much is shipping to residential usually?
