Looking for this carbon fiber hood.

I saw this hood on an ITR from the image disk on the Expo cd. Does anyone know who makes it and where/how I can get one.

looks like a Factor X hood, this first company to provide the "Spoon Weave" on usdm style hoods.

Correct.

And his friend made it for him. So if you don't buy this EXACT hood from him, then you won't be getting one like it.....

Re: Looking for this carbon fiber hood. (JDC2)

Factor X bought some hoods off of sunny styling, not all were made by Factor X. If you are referring to the yellow color in the weave, you can get that done by some cf hood manufacturers for a $100 or so fee. If you PY R owners are seriously interested, a group buy is always a possiblity. IM for details

Re: Looking for this carbon fiber hood. (EGStreetHtch)

looks pretty cool w/ the yellow weave...but I'm sure you can get something out there w/ the colored weave...I've seen other colors, but not sure where to get them.
