I have some new news on the carbon fiber hoods. And it is looking really really good. I know there are others looking at making them so I will let you know what will be different in mine.
(1) they will be more then $350
(2) there will be a total of 6 plye of carbon fiber, ask the others what how many they are using
(3) there will be no fiberglass in the hoods. this will be a fully legit carbon hood. No other material to use as filler
(4) there will be areospace foam for strength in the same area's as the metal frame is under the hood.
(5) there will be an airdam which is completly custom and doesnt stand out of the hood, but it is flush with the hood.
I will have more info for people that are intrested in this, it will be more but you get what you pay for. this hood will withstand up to 180mph winds on down force, therefore making it possible to stand on it with no probs.
I need the list now. so everyone intrested please Post.

air dam is located over where the intake is correct? Might be interested....since I want to have a scoop molded into my hood and somehow I see it coming out more expensive than this...But I don't want to lose too much weight from the front end..and a black hood wouldn't look too sexy IMO either. It's an option at this point however.

the hood can be painted to body color if you didnt want the carbon look. it is a lot of weight loss the hood will be around 12-15lbs. But we are talking a serious hood here. there isnt any fooling around. This will probably be one of the best carbon fiber hoods sold, the ones for imports are cheese and most others I would say woundn't come with as many plye of fiber as mine, The people that are making it with me specialize in making aircraft stuff so they are over doing the strength to make it one of the best. I will have numbers soon. But I really need to have the number of people first. I will be making mine with them probably next week or so and will post pics of it.
