DAMN!!! carbon hood WOW

[speeding-g60]

i have one of these hoods, full carbon with the carbon framework underneath as well. fit is excellent. uses stock hood hinges and latch.

i have it just set on the car for now.... but it looks real good there...

AFAIK, FiberImages is the only place that makes a CF B4 hood?

what did you pay for this?

so the standard hinges, hatches, etc all fit or is there some work required?

and how much weight does this save? in other words: how light is this and how heavy is the original?

$800 USD here in USA. it is ~$1400 USD as optioned with CF inner skin. there was a problem with one of the hood latch pins, and one of the inserts spun, so i got a really good deal on it. its going on a drag car so it does not matter that i will use flush hood pins.

it is a factory GM color. Burgundy Copper Effect Metallic. the color really comes out in full light. here is a couple pix of the Rieger skirts and S2 rear bumper in the sunlight.

yes, it is a direct bolt on, no modifying anything. bolts to hood hinges and the factory hood latch parts bolt to it.

here are some pix. one of the OEM hood on a scale, and this hood on the scale.

the build thread for my Coupe drag chassis is over on MotorGeek.

28lb, a little under 13kg, so it's a good saving but not a truly magnificent saving. In a no-compromise setup, it's worth paying for but I think that's the only situation ....combined with cfrp front fenders.

Speeding g60, i like your comment on your project thread..

here is a couple of the rabbit 20v... it has Cat 3652 cams, Wiseco 82mm pistons, Scat rods, Supertech springs/retainers and a smallish GT35R on a BF tubular manifold

Gt35R is quite a large turbo by our standards

Ok, i take that back,

I ques you have proved that this is what a big turbo looks like:

combined with cfrp front fenders.

someone manufactured these fenders? ohhhh, I'd sure like to see...
