Here are a couple of shots of my new CF Hood, Lip, and Eyelids.. It started to get dark while i was taking the pictures, but you still get the effect of the CF.. Let me know what you think..







here is a link to my website for more pics http://www.cardomain.com/ride/737773/5

 

Looks awesome! Where did you get the CF hood from and for how much? Love the cefiros, nice work

also: what did you do instead of using hood pins?

 

Very nice, how about a full car shot with it installed

 

Looks good, but you really should invest in some hood pins.

 

i got the hood from carbonefx.com for a little under 450 shipped.. it was going to cost that much to get the dent taken out of my stock hood, so i got the cf hood instead.. i actually dont have hood pins.. i keep a close watch on it.. and it doesnt really flex that much or often.. when i had it installed the adjusted my hood latch and it closes pretty snug.. i may end up getting some i dont know.. i know everyone says you need some if you get a cf hood though.. thanks for the input..

 

how much does the hood weigh compared to the stock hood? Nice ride BTW

 

Looking great. CF lip is a nice touch, along with the eye lids and hood.

I would suggest getting the hood pins asap, aslo. Just because you dont see it flexing doesnt mean something still cant happen. Its better safe than sorry. When I put my CF hood on I liked the look without the hood pins muhch more, but when the hood flew up at me . . . I put the pins in.

You could get some hood pins, and sand a paint to match your color Max, or black hood pins, that would help create the illusion you dont have hood pins.

 

I'm gonna guess around 25lbs less than stock...my VIS CF hood comes in at 20lbs and my OEM one is around 45ish lbs...

 

yeah i think that they said it was like 23-25 lbs.. so i lost on average about 20 lbs... i wish VIS made a hood for our generation of max but i am very impressed with the quality of the one i got.. even the body shop that installed it said it was good quality.. that said enough for me..

STEVEN88 - just out of curiosity how much did you pay for your VIS hood??

 

Very Nice!!!

 

I paid $400 shipped...that is a hook up price though...my friend's friend goes direct with VIS and he gave me that price....but before I was referred to him...I went to this motorsports shop and they quoted me $450 + tax....and ebay runs for like $480 shipped I think

 

man that is a deal.. you have any pics of it??

 

i think you should've did your suspension first. Your car looks odd sitting at stock height w/ a CF hood.

 

just out of curiosity...if VIS made a 4th gen hood...would u go with the VIS or the one u currently have? and why?

 

ughhhhhhhhhhh......lip is sooo hot.....the hood is too....i would suggest some pins like Flavar said......get good ones

 

are the VIS cf hoods rolled?

 

you must not be able to read.. i have a tokico illumina suspension..

 

umm i dont know.. i would have to see the skeleton that VIS used for their hoods before i could have decided.. if i would have chosen before i saw the quality of the carbonefx hood i would have probably gone with the VIS (assuming they made one for my car) just because the definite quality that goes with the name.. But now that i have seen my hood it would be a tough decision.. i am very pleased with it.. everything from the finish, to the tight cf weave, the edges, and the skeleton frame.. the thing i like best about this hood is that the skeleton is not just glued to the CF hood... it is all molded as one piece so that there is no worry of seperation from flexing.. also.. a friend of mine had a CF hood on his car.. and from the underneath you could see the actual CF.. the skeleton frame looked like it was just glued to the hood.. and then after he had it for like a year or two it started to fade in the spots where the skeleton was at.. it was a poor build..

egxflash - thats what it says on their website..

 

Nice CF goodies...

I hate the look of hood pins too, but I got them for piece of mind. I drove around for a few days w/o them, and saw my hood flexing a little. If you hood flies up, there goes the hood, windshield, and some roof damage will occur. Is it really worth it to take the chance?

BTW, I got my hood from CarbonEFX too.

 

Wow, looks very nice and clean.

 

looks good.

 

Hood looks good. Get the pins, its worth it to keep your roof/hood from getting smashed.

 

that CF hood and skeleton are definitely not made in one piece. It is glued together

 

ive looked at the hood from the underneath.. and its all molded as one piece...

 

car still looks like its riding high....

 

i didnt remember this being a suspension thread?? lol.. thanks for the input.. i beleive it has to do with the camera angle..

 

The car looks awesome with the new hood on there. That dent from that beer bottle was killer. Now it is time for some wheels, dude!

 

that front end is absolutly sick !

 

thanks van.. yeah i agree i do need some rims to top it off.. im just too cheap right now.. ill get something sooner or later.. yeah that beer bottle dent was not good.. i can finally look at my car and smile again.. ahhh

 

looks sick

 

I shoulda bought a CF hood instead...fack Im stupid


Looks great.
