Default CWest Carbon Fiber Hood

Does anyone know where I might be able to get a CWest 'style' hood in CF? I know a 'real' one retails at $1500. is the craftmanship really wroth that much?

For that price i would imagine that its a race only type deal. If you want a look, why not just go with one of the less expensive good quality hoods like fiber images. I dont know but that is allot of money for a hood.

Try GTP International.
396S Lemon Ave. Walnut, CA 91789
PH: 909468 9600 <www.importfan.com>
We use their Carbon fiber hood and wing on our JDM ITR. Beautifully made. And nothing like $1500! Ask for Ted, and say Kiwi sent you...

Called up GTP, quoted me over 1000 shipped to hawaii. Said 600 just for shipping alone. From 909?? Pretty steep because I got my whole original CWest kit shipped for 1200 total.. not even the "real" CWest hood. Any other options?

I got my kit directly from CWest Japan by a shop here in HI, and shipping was NOT even close to 600. Call me rota, but I don't have enough to get the 'real' CWest hood. Does anyone know where else I can get a, preferably high quality, CWest rep?

Update on the hood.

Called up GTP again and after talking to this girl for five minutes, she quoted me 600 for the hood shipped. Said I would make purchase, but now they are out of stock and they don't know when they'll get them in. I thought they fabricate their own hoods..

VIS makes an invader hood which has a raised vented section like the crux. But not clean like the c-west or j's.

Yes VIS does make a knock off hood. I have one on my ITR and it fits perfect, and they are much cheaper. Right now they have the hoods on groupbuycenter.com for $325 OEM style, and like $375 for the Invader style which looks pretty cool. I have the OEM style, and it is like only $100 for shipping. So $425 total and your done!
Later,
Aaron
