hoods?

[ttocs]

Still hoping that it will not be totaled and looking around at some hoods. I considered upgrading to a nice CF hood but wasn't sure if the prices I was seeing was for some crap-made versions or if these are ok? Anyone used these or know of anyone that has?

I actually always liked the look of the stock hood so I kinda liked the idea of a CF stock version just so that it would not stick out too bad as a custom hood till the weave was noticed.

As for the different styles I also liked the heat extractor version, was surprised the price was not higher again....

Short of those two I like the y2k cobra R style but didn't see any versions of those two in this range. Should I be expecting to pay more to get something that lasts?

I don't really like CF... especially on mustangs. But your car.


I think I remember running across a CF 2000 cobra R hood years ago... can't remember from where.


If you just want a fiberglass 2000 cobra R hood http://www.cervinis.com/94-98mustang-type2-cobra-r-hood.html

I like the heat extractor hood

i liked CF up until i saw one cracking and peeling (which is apparently very common)... so, just take good care of it!

i like the heat extractor as well.

I would paint the edges of it and maybe tint the center section with some black candy paint so that it look basically black until you get up on it. Would like to pain the roof with the same black candy paint.

I am not into the whole-raw-hood look myself. It doesn't look bad on most cars but just seems like a desperate attempt for attention.

maybe instead of trying to get everyone together at one time we should just post up lap-times.

VIS racing made/makes some decent CF hoods.

Just saw the VIS this afternoon. A little more expensive but as I said I was almost afraid those were too cheap. I know CF isn't cheap to do right so if I am gonna do it I know I will end up paying..... Anyone even heard of these brands I posted earlier?

Maybe get a stock CF hood and paint it DFG but leave a stripe of CF showing

That is what I was planning on doing with it no matter which style. Just wanted too keep the center section raw and possibly a black candy on it just to keep it from looking too CF...

also found this locally this afternoon. Looks like I could get the bumper cover/front end parts I need there as well as the airbags....

awesome man. I hope everything works out in your favor, bro. Still sucks to hear that happen to your car. We dont see much of it and when we do it looks nice.

good luck

Hate that happened to your car. As far as carbon fiber hoods go, the ones made with real cf will yellow from the suns uv rays. If you really like the cf loo you could have a hood wrapped with the 3M cf vinyl or have it painted to resemble cf.

go with a cowl hood.

 

[ProKiller]

VIS is where its at. professional race quality right there.

 

[Marvin97]

Where are you located Scott? I'm only a couple hours from Evansville and would gladly sell you my hood

 

[ttocs]

e'villes east side/newburgh. I will keep the offer in mine man thanks.

Hopefully this will be the hood. I decided I wanted the extra space under it for when I supercharge it later. Really liked the look of the heat extractor but I am afraid it limits the space under it even more then the stock hood does and I already too the fire-blanket out because it was rubbing.

I figure if I am going to put a hood on it, why not make it worth while?
