I am looking to put a carbon fiber hood on my cobalt. I would like to know suggestions for hood styles and places to buy them.

Included is a picture of the car as is. Tell me what hood you think would look good.

Thanks for the help.

i heard andy's auto sport has fitment issues... is that true?

 

i would recomend the VIS Invader 2 hood i have one and i love it, it does so much for the car

 

I would say it deppends on the brand, not the website, maybe if its under their brand it will have fitment issues but i dont think all the brands they have would have them.

 

 

This, FTMFW!

 

it is the same hood from modern performance just didnt get it from them

this hood looks bad ass!!

 

I think OEM style looks best. I hate hood scoops and vents on our cars. It just doesn't flow well with the smooth lines of the car. That one in the above post isn't too bad though. If you want vents get that one.

 

I have the Suncoast hood made in CF, but as far as I know it's not available in CF unless it's custom made like mine was...

 

this is mine and i love it. never seen another with it

 

how much did it end up costing?

 

620 shipped to my door. itz hood by flastik or something like that. hand made upon order and fits perfect. i got mine from everythingcobalt.com

 

Here's a little more on the Suncoast hood. It's on my "To Do" list.

With the reverse hood scoop No pictures yet.

 

itrenz hood....fitment looks ehhhhh

anyways personally oem looks the best and have it painted

 

if i can make enough money this by next week im ordering oem hood and trunk from a site not a vendor so dont wanna post link due to it being against rules for 980 both shipped to my door no custom fees.

 

You can order the Suncoast hood in CF from Grounded conceptz. groundedconceptz. com

Cost is $780 CDN. his shipping rates are not insane either. I would suggest emailing them about shipping. They are located in Oshawa Ontario.

Very good quality. Underside is also made Gloss black.

Here is mine..

 

I agree, but CF aside I like the RK Sport hood, it's subtle but looks REALLY good.

 

thanks guys . all your cars look great! i ordered one and i'll post a pic when it comes in!

 

If i get one of them hoods will rain get inside that is my big worry i don't what something get wet that should not get wet.

 

Rain does get in with any vented hood. I just replaced one of my cam sensors because one of the vents is right on top of the valve cover where the sensors are, and water got into the plug and corroded everything to hell. I had to replace the pins in the plug and replace the sensor. I ended up fabricating some drainage paths to stop the water from landing on the valve cover and on the fuse box on the other side. It's just dumb luck if something goes wrong, but nothing is immune from screwing up.

 

wow really? ive had on my suncoast hood for almost 2 years now and havent had a single problem with that..... driven in rain and canadian winters

 

i rocked that hook on my old cobalt
