I am getting the RKSport hood very soon (this week), and I wanted to find out if anyone else who has one. Do you use the stock hood struts.. Like is the hood strong enought to use them. If you didn't use them, then what do you do instead..

I really hope I can use my stock hood struts.. Cause I would really hate to give them up because of the hood.. But I am still getting the hood, I just want even better news now..


Also can anyone photoshop a Cobalt with the hood on it.. Yellow with a black stripe coming down from the vent to the front of the hood.. I just wanna see if it would like nice, cause if it does I will get it done..

Here is sorta what I am after

 

Can anyone help me out with a photoshop..

But most importantly if I can use the stock hood struts... It looks like they are using one of them on the RKsport site.. But I want to be extra sure it can before its done

 

I think alot of people want these, but they are too expensive to buy. Its like 500 pluss for the hood and then another 150 bones to ship. Not worth it yet. as far as your questions I dont see why not, see if you can find some images of the bottom, or shoot RK sports an email asking.

 

i will be getting this hood in carbon fiber

 

many more hoods to come in about a year

 

buy a stock hood from the dealership...for...i dunno how much it is...350? Have a friend who weilds, and thick metal to weld and mold into the hood of your dreams! I want ot do this actually...get a STI style hood...Ill do it in photoshop one day...

:P I work with photoshop every day..... I aint talkin bout it...too much to type,ha

 

My hood is done at Rksport Im picking it up monday or tuesday. It uses ALL stock hardwarde, even comes built with a hood latch. Very easy to install will take minutes.

 

Y do any work to a stock hood, when U could get a lite weight one??

 

Does it automatically use all the stock latches and such.. Like why would urs need a built in hood latch.. I don't understand...


Sure there is many hoods to come out in the up coming year.. But.. I need a hood now since I smashed up my car in the winter sorta... And I am getting this hood at about $350CDN (rather then the $599US for the hood, plus shiping and paint etc).. So I mean I am saving probably about $1000 or whatever. So why not... I like the hood and I am geting a steal

 

The cobalt latch is installed into the Cobalt and can't be removed hence the reason Rk Sports hoods come with pre-installed latches. It has attachments for the stock hood shock and bolts up to the stock latches all the holes are pre-drilled making for an easy install.

 

oh yea?
all hoods fit 100% right, everytime, right?

 

They need to make an evo styled one...would look great on Cobalts!!!
