Carbon fiber hoods? (links)

ocean.mirage · 07-29-2010, 09:49 PM

I am looking for a carbon fibre hood suited for all weather conditions. I was wondering if anyone had some links to some good sites, all I can find is the same lame 2 hoods online.

Thanx

search the vendor section. Siebon makes a couple, very few choices though.

This is the one I went with:

Bayspeedaerokit.com Nissan 370Z BS Carbon Fiber Hood

Unfortunately I can't answer how well it'll be in all weather conditions. It's done well in the sun and had a small rain shower fall on it but nothing more than that. Only had it on for about 3 weeks now but no complaints.

Here it is after modifying it a little:

do you get much water running down in the vents, or are they closed off?

Sides can be either way.....open or closed. Center is always open. Like I said, it's only been a brief short rain and it didn't seem to cause any issues. I do know for show quality I will be needing to keep my engine clean(er) than I have been since there is that chance water will be running down into it more than the stock style. Wish I could be of more help.

That is a good looking car

yes, a beautiful car, nice work.... by the way... if you search hoods, not much comes up so yeah... it was time to start a thread.

2theextreme · 07-30-2010, 08:55 AM

Yeah and someone post a site that carries hood dampers for a 370Z, please! I won't be able to use the bar that came with the Z because the CF hood is so light, it causes it to "bend" on one side. I need something to keep my hood up for the car show next weekend....ugh!
