Hey guys, phase 2 is complete on my build. Here is the new R1 Style Carbon Fiber Hood from aitracing.com Let me know what you think!!!

 

hmm doesnt really look that bad when its on the car

 

noice, paint that mesh black.

 

decepticon or autobot..??

 

i suppose people will like it but i dont like cars that look like space ships. $.02

 

i like it it looks really sweet keeps us updated

 

I hate it i think it looks like do do

 

thanks for all the comments. Yes it looks a bit much but when you step back from the car it gives it a really aggressive look! As for the mesh I will paint it black!

 

Looks nice!. I'm not really a fan of the carbon fiber look though. It looks like it needs painted. It would look great painted imo.

 

I say it's a little too busy, one or the other would have nailed it, in my opinion.
CF trunk/wing insert to match yet?

 

planning on CF trunk

 

err i want one but don't want to spend the money

 

cc08 please don't get that. for the sake of all of us.

 

it would look so much better with just the heat extracters in the middle and no side vents.

 

i'm not

 

but it would really set off his gas cap sticker...may it rest in peace...

 

looks good, but need more pictures!

 

yes more pictures!! i see you have the new front bumper installed already. did i miss the thread on that?

 

hows the exedy clutch?

 

working on pictures tomorrow after I detail the car, these were taken really fast from my cell. I have a show to get ready for Sunday and I'm in the process of installing the stock fog lights onto this bumper, and polishing the valve cover, so I didn't want to wash it before I started getting it dirty again. Might polish the stock rims too...

UMM.....I thought it would grab more, and there's this really loud noise when coming down above 3k. But have a feeling it's the bearing between the fly wheel and transmission, and the guy who installed it kinda didn't know what he was doing cause it was the first Cobalt he worked on. But the clutch was in great condition!!! and I highly doubt it was the clutches fault, you sold me a great part don't worry about it!!!! How's the SRT-4? Traitor hahah jk

 

want to make my ss look good any ideas.

 

there's lots you can do

 

pose with it and take pics, then post them..??

 

x2

 

dont get this hood... (jk)

haha, each to their own. just my preference. lowering is a good start, window tint, wheels, nothing too flashy, clean is the way to go now days IMO. nothing that stands out and says "HEY LOOK AT ME, IM A GAS CAP STICKER!!" and draws the attention away from the actual car itself. just messin cc08

carbon fiber is a huge fad now days, and is getting old fast IMO. i hate going to car shows and seeing cars that have carbon fiber everything, and say "its lighter and looks cool" but still runs 15s. if you wanna drop some weight and go carbon fiber, its a good way to go. but for over 1k for a hood and trunk, i could put that money to better use. when and if i hit 12s, i might consider going CF myself, but OEM style and painted to match the rest of the car.

im not bashing anyones car by any means. if you like it, thats all that matters. ****, if you needed help putting it on, id even help you. but if you post pics, expect the good and bad. thats just the honest truth. congrats with the modding.
