Hey guys, i recently just got some damage to my hood, long story short its scraped up pretty bad and i got a bit of damage above the passenger side door.....stupid bitch. AAANYWAYS, i was thinkin of just bypassing the whole repair/repaint stage with the stock hood and goin carbonfiber.





This is one of my top choices to go on my sport-red ss/na. If im getting this i would be eventually getting a highrise carbon fiber wing to accent it soon enuf. As well ill be putting some black overlays into all 3 "SS" on the outside as soon as they get here. Any thoughts or opinions would be sweet guys, seeing as how im pretty new to appearance mods.

Thanks

 

its a decent hood...a little paint on some of the hood would really accent that cf high rise when you get it...

 

i have a hood for sale...it looks like this

 

^Grill for sale?

 

i would say yes but dude it cost me like 8 dollars to make....gorilla glue and mesh from home depot

 

As far as the OP hood I think it would look good with the center extractor and lose both of the side things..also PAINTED

N/M from the pic it looked like an 08 grill

 

its alright

 

didnt you just get that hood like a month ago

 

i saw that on ebay, then went to the website of who makes it. i don't know if i would buy it.

plus its only been out a few weeks

 

paint everything but the low part in the middle+clear=teh sex

 

cost who 8 bucks to make lmao

 

huh that hood doesn't look too bad IMO actually..

where'd you find that hood

 

ebay, someone posted a thread abt it yesterday. its only 450$$$!!!!making in the cheapest hood as well

WIN

 

yea but i blew my engine days ago

 

thanks for the input so far guys. I'll still need to work out sumthing with the insurance company if im doin this....plus i gotta find someone who has experience working with carbonfiber around here, get some hood pins put in probably (i've never had to do this). Keep the comments coming

 

Personally I like it. I'd rather have it fiberglass/painted but it still looks good regardless.

 

yea i like the style of it.. some painted accents would definitely look good though

i wish the ion ahad one like that :-(

 

"**intended for off-road only*"

 

hahaha ya, "intended"... look at all the carbonfiber hoods out there, theyre ALL "intended" for offroad use :S

 

OP, imo i wouldnt get the original hood you posted, but the one for sale in the second post is lookin sexy as hell

 

ya i was lookin at the sun coast creations one a while back...pretty expensive for me right now tho. its like 800 with shipping and id still need to paint/install it

 

why? why can't it be a normal everyday hood like the OEM is intended for?

 

was this the hood for the 2.0 or the 2.2/2.4 ?

I DONT KNOW!!! lol, but seriously no clue. Everywhere i read about these it says its for "offroad use" or whatever.

 

so the 2.0's have different hoods than the 2.2/2.4's? i thought the body styling was all the same minus the fascia's and lips?
