i was just wondering what was the point of a carbon fiber hood?? its a dumb question, but i don't know anything.

 

they give you about 14 hp at the wheels and the 'checkered' pattern gives you that race car look!

 

i'm just messin with you man, but really you can pic a CF hood up and trow it around with one hand and its stronger than fiberglass.

+ they look cool

 

saved me two things...

$250 because it was purched thru an insurance claim in a minor fender bender (an oem hood is $450 plus $300 total to paint the two sides, VS. the $500 for a CF hood, shipped.)

20 LBS because it is much lighter than the stock steel hood.

It also made my car look much better becasue I (and most others) think that carbon fiber is just mezmerizing under sunlight, it really is amazing... nothing major but I guess its another good point.

 

the weight factor (every little bit helps) and it looks sharp as hell...in most conditions

 

they help to balance out all that weight that is on the front wheels in a FF car..

but they make your car look stupid unless you paint it.

 

why does every cf hood i see not have wahser nozzels in it? i need those! can they be added?

 

Ours come with windshield washer holes pre-drilled. So installtion is quote simple. I also have it available without washer holes, but after 3 years of making carbon fiber hoods I got a lot of e-mail with customers wanting them. So we decided to include them with our new line up of hoods. Here is a picture. Have a good day.

 

It's a lot of money to spend just to save 20lbs and make you car look ghetto (like it came from a junkyard or chop shop). It's alright on a black car though. That's just how I see it anyways. But your car is your decision.

 

it also takes away the glare.
