Carbon Fiber Hoods

grey98gst · 02-24-2007

I want to get a carbon fiber hood, but there are so many to choose from. I'm looking for an OEM look, but I've seen hoods with a scoop right in front of the bump. Anyone know what I'm talking about and maybe where I could find one?

OEM is the best look imo. Some of those other ones seem to get a little ricey for me.

Don't get a VIS hood. I worked on a car a 2g nt that had a terrible body kit and a VIS cf hood. The thing fit so badly that I could squeeze my finger between it and the fenders on both sides, and my whole hand between the hood and bumper.

carbonfibrefx -sites down now but seems to have nice hoods and easy to get ahold of. 600ish for price

I paid justover 300 for mine new, it fits pretty good not 100% but 97% but that could be my fenders as well, so it still looks sweet as hell

How would you mount a hood scoop infront of a bumper

? But here is a webpage for you.

Bump, not bumper. I've seen it as well, but don't really see the point to having a scoop pointed right at my timing belt.

My bad. I have seen them too, but the CFH did not come that way. The person modded. I find it silly to put a hole where you timing belt is located. It does nothing for the car excpet make sure that debis gets near your timing belt.

that would be great if the kid didnt have a timing belt cover, then when he drives by just throw a hand full of rocks at the scoop. LOL
