Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General Group Buy Carbon fiber hoods for pre 98 and post 98

I'm interested in the post 98. But like everyone else I would like a pic and a price. Lemme know.

hey here is the deal, or more info on the deal. I will showing pics pretty soon of my car which is pre 98. this will have to do for you to see what it will look like. I will be doing both so I start with mine.

10-15 pounds is what I thought the hood would weigh. I was way off the hood will way 4 pounds hahah gotta love carbon fiber. 4.25 pounds to be exact. these hoods can be carbon fiber and Fiberglass. your choice if you are just going to paint over it then dont spend the extra money on carbon fiber if you want the carbon look then go for the carbon fiber. the cost is up there up is well worth it due to the quality of parts and labor. The hood will be a simple bolt up and play setup. the cost of the carbonfiber hoods will be around $650 the cost of the fiberglass hoods will be cheaper and I will let you know the cost as soon as I can. these hoods will have a aerospace frame like the orginal hood (but with areospace) strength with no be an issue.

There is one issue we are working on now, which is how will you open the hood either with hood pins or stock connection.

This is reality so please only post if you are intrested and can do it very soon. for this will be starting to a week if enough people are intrested.

I'm very interested but want to see what it looks like first before I commit. I would MUCH prefer to use the stock hood latch than hood pins.

Can't wait to see a pic!

Very interested but need to see some pics befor I say Yes.

micah, most likely ill be in...may not be anytime soon tho...3.0L and turbo is a bigger priority at the moment.

Micah -- weight of the fibreglass ones will be.........??? And any idea on price?

Here's what it will look like (roughly).

Hey, esitmated weight of the fiberglass is not yet figured out, it will weigh more just dont know yet, I would say probally between what I first thought the carbon ones would weigh 10-15lbs. But we are doing calculations on it now. This is pretty much a done deal. I will be making 2 differnt gb post tommorrow. one for pre 98 and one for post 98. This one will be shut and I will need to see the numbers of people people intrested. So look and post there tommorrow.
