Thread: Pre98-Hood

  1. #1

    Default Pre98-Hood

    I am currently talking to a gentleman to try and get a hood made for the pre-98 crew. I am interested in a hood with some type of induction cowl on it. (see picture). I haven't talked price yet. At this point just looking for feed back and ideas of what type of hood you would like to see made for our cars. What type of material would you like it to be made of (carbon Fiber, fiberglass). If you have a certain style hood in mind please send a photo. Lets see if we can get enough people interested to make this happen.

    Cool on that awesome car, anyways. What about a hood that is raised in the center and leads to the oval up front- where the top would square off.

    Honestly, I can't see this going well. There's not a lot of people with cars in this good of condition who want to spend money on a hood. Just my input..

    there have been attempts for group buys for all styles of hoods... the people who wanted them have already got them - it is pretty much a one-off option for yourself and maybe one or two others who would like what you are presenting... good luck - JOE

    I knew and drove an Evo VI before you possibly even knew it existed. I was implying that an EVO looking hood on a Contour would be rice to the core!

    oh please. if your going that route then any aftermarket hood that isnt OEM style is rice and you should just stay out of this thread. plus if the vent and ducts were functional then my opinion is that its not rice. the ones that are installed to make it look fast are rice.

    as for you driving it before i knew it existed i highly doubt. ive been following the EVO very closely since the V first came out waiting for it to come to the U.S.
