The only carbon fiber hood i have found for 93-97s is the dg motorsports one here.

are there any other cf hoods that are like the SS style ? anyone have pics? $1000 doesnt sound that bad especially if it fits up perfect and is a great quality, like DG motorsports "prides" itself on. thanks

 

CF hoods are over rated. Just get a quality fiberglass hood. The weight difference is about 5lbs, and you'll save $400.

 

thanks for the reply, however I didnt want this thread to be switched around to why i should get a fiberglass hood, (which is in fact what i am set on getting now) i just wanted to explore my options with cf.

thanks

 

I believe VFN is able to do carbon fiber hoods. Personally, if I had the extra cash flow to afford it, I'd do carbon fiber for the looks, not for the weight savings. I'll be honest, I love the look of carbon fiber, and nothing would be more sexy than TRUE carbon fiber stripes with the rest of the hood matching the body color.

 

were in the same boat man!

 

did the hatch come with glass? it would be sweet if it didnt so you could buy the non-defrost window and the tint would set perfectly.

i wish i had the cash to buy a rk sport roadster hatch or whatever its called with the rear removable window, i wish i could see what that one looks like on a car w/o ground effects and a huge wing. (that in cf would be pretty nice as well )

 

its called a sportsback and i have it on mine......i dont have ground effects but i dont have a wing....i will post pics in 2 weeks.... the sportsback looks awesome.... is lighter...and gives some downforce....but the downsides r it is wayyy expensive and it gives u horrible blind spots....ACCIDENTS BEWARE!!!

 

yeah if you could post pics that would be great man, did u tint the glass at all? and when you said "...i dont have ground effects but i dont have a wing...." did u mean you have a wing? thanks

 

VFN can do any of their fiberglass parts in carbon fiber. It knocks off roughly half the weight and is approximately 225% mark-up over fiberglass. For instance, a pin-on flat hood that weighs 12#s and costs $260, would weigh about 6#s and would cost $585. They come gelcoated, so if you want them for looks, go back to the RKSport junk. If you want something that actually serves a purpose, then VFN is the way to go.

 

aggiez28 is selling a carbon fiber lt1 ss hood

 

Didnt the Whistler dude (guy with the targa top) say the DGm CF hodd was really heavy so he made his own.
