quick question about carbon fiber hoods

I just wrote above that my car has the CF hood. If you want to see a pic then click on the link I posted before or do a search for when I posted it before. The shops addy is;

617 Oak Glen
Irvine, 92618 CA

And again the hood is $405 shipped by bus. Or I guess $305 picked up.

that shop doesnt make the CF hood that well. there is a shop that is just making the hood for our cars that will be i think around 500 but it is good quality. there is a thread on it. go do a search. i think the shop uses the screenname of bodykitsNW.

it's good to have them around, although I personally hate the way they look now.......

when I crashed my Lude, I also fuc*ed up my hood. i'm not worried though b/c I have my c/f hood laying around, and I'm going to use it for a little while..........

well they said they are making a hood for the CL because he just posted that this month. look up the thread. i am not positive that it will be for us first Gens or not but i read the thread and he said that they did get enough people and they are going to produce.
