That looks real sexy... and could be a great cheap weight reduction for the black SS/SC's out thier. The car had a stock looking carbon fiber hood that was clearcoated after. Looks super clean.

Very tempting... especially to try and get an after market to suck some of the heat off of the SC.

So anyone keeping a master list of available CF hoods for the SS/SC's?

 

i believe theres 3.... CF OEM, CF RK Sport (W/scoop), CF import trenz with dual extractor..... i just ordered the dual extractor a few days ago for my base balt.... their probably sold out and wont even be phisically made until next week or the week after, but i believe the guy told me they hjad 4 rolls of CF and everyone else is out

 

doesnt a clear coat get cloudy after a while when you do it to CF?

 

i think it does.... you wont notice it with how slow itll happen... jsut wax the CF and then no need to clear it, im not clear coating mine

 

this has nothing to do with the thread really, so sorry for that, but it is funny.

I was at the mall last night and saw a new STi with a OEM CF hood, but noticed it was messed a little right next to the scoop. I couldnt figure out why a new CF hoof would warp that badly til i got closer and realized that the heat of the past few days made his CF DECAL bubble off the metal hood... what a douche

 

i wont clear mine ither. ill be paint matching it to hide the fact that im lighting up the car. same thing for the CF trunk lid

 

Modern Performance carbon fiber SS hood. It is teh sex!!1

Touche!

 

IDK... it doesnt realy go with the lines of the balt like the RK Sport hood does

 

nice hood, will those hoods last long, whats the average life of the cf hoods and how much weight is lost

 

That hood looks SICK.

Does anyone know how much weight is actually lost by replacing the hood?

 

THATS NICE!!

 

I dont like that hood for some reason, I like the RK Sport hood, it flows with the car better IMO

 

Ok linkage to the hood?

here is the import Trenz hood...

I think import trenz needs a better shot of it in action on an actual car though. the only other shot is even worse...

That is the design but obviously not carbon fiber... (I am under the impression that carbon fiber is black isn't it?
