aite, so here's the thing... some of you guys might have remember reading my post about how my dad f*cked up my car a couple days ago... today my dad says he's going to replace all the parts that were damaged including the hood of the car. so my question is: where could i get a good quality carbon fiber hood a.s.a.p. and how much would it cost? if it costs less than the stock factory hood, then i could probably convince my dad into getting the carbon fiber hood. thanx in advance!

4) It should cost around $600. But don't quote me on it.

6) You probably will get a regular hood faster than you could get a carbon fiber hood.

I just said the same thing. Where did my previous post go? Is it the case of the disappearing posts again?

 

Looks like it.

 

I think he wants you to use search.

 

hahaha yea... i just did a search. forgot about it at first... was too psyched in the possibility that i could get a carbon fiber hood...

 

Dave has one on his black Max and it looks nice from a few feet back, but up close you notice a few manufactuer's errors.

1) You have to shave your stock grill, because the geniuses who molded this thing couldn't do their job right.
2) You can't use your hood shocks because it'll break the carbon fiber. Use wooden sticks instead.
3) The sides don't match up right and are too narrow.

Other than that, it's fine. I guess you can hunt down someone with weak hood struts and trade him. That'll make you both happy.

 

I love that "other than that, it's fine" Those are huge problems. It's like saying "other than the doors falling off and the steering not working, the car is fine". Some of the Honda guys say they're the best, but on their Toyota, Infiniti, and Nissan hoods (smaller markets) I'm just not impressed.

 

doesnt chestbo has one? ask him, he should know.

 

other than that, lol

 

yeah, it's my sarcasm that gets me in trouble sometimes. Here it was all in good fun. No but seriously, I haven't seen the perfect carbon fiber hood yet. It does look neat and you lose like 30 lbs, but at such an inconvienent cost.

 

mmrusa has a fat carbon fiber hood. fiber images makes it. www.mmrusa.com

 

we'll see what leonard @ fiberimages has to say.

ill support it if their customer service is good, but somehow i REALLY doubt that.

so far, im unhappy with the hood.

 

GOOD LUCK!!!!

Good luck with your hood.
