crazy question but, are the CF hoods/trunks any lighter? how much would you save by doing both..

 

my stock hood was 42 lbs. my cf hood was 17.5
So yes, lighter.
betweenthe two your looking at maybe 40 lbs savings?
(and remember its est every 100lbs saved is 0.100" in the 1/4)

 

Nwae. Hood looks good man. Now paint the edges to tie it into the car
and no secrets revealed! I want to be the first so it can be the 07metallicsc mod! Haha

 

uh... whut?

 

Time Attack.

 

Dude I swear your car is the only yellow one I really love

 

I will be contributing to this thread very soon

 

From the thread of ur car doglegging. Nothing I haven't said before

 

lulz. we are actually talking about sanding the clear to make it look like a dry carbon on only the raised portion of the hood.

 

wont it oxodize?

 

not sand it flat all the way, just sand down the clear coat to make it look dry lol

 

No, but the sun will bleach and it will eventually dust away

Raw unfinished carbon fiber on anything driven on the street ranks up there with some of the not so smartest things I've heard.

 

metallic how much did it cost for painting your sides of your hood cause in about one month ordering a oem style carbon fiber hood from carbon creations

 

back when i wsn't the owner lol

 

300 to sand gel coat. Paint edges and reclear whole hood

 

not bad and is carbon creations a good company?

 

yup there sold by extreme dimensions pm them and they will give you a good deal on a hood or trunk

 

Carbon creations is who I'm buying from

 

better piktars
and yes, i know there is some surface scratches...needs a buff

 

Sorry for the crappy pic

 

haha nice hood crappy pic and when you gonna get the blue door handles!

 

Im looking at a paint job in March. Car came with chrome. It's a LTZ

 

What's everyone's opinion on carbon fiber hood/truck lid on a black cobalt? Ive been considering looking into it but I'm wondering if its really worth it since it wont be as noticeable

 

I'm getting a carbon fiber hood for my car but I'm painting it black. I'm going to leave a little cut out of a design somewhere so if people really look, then they'll know it's carbon fiber. Personally, I wouldn't leave carbon fiber unpainted on a black Cobalt. I think it looks odd but I'm sure there are some that can pull it off.

 

god dam, now I want CF hood and trunk =/
