I was wondering if anybody knows of a place that manufactures the OEM style carbon fiber hood. I recently got into an accident and damaged my hood and am looking to replace it with a carbon fiber. anybody know of a place?

 

try doing a search next time before posting.

here is the info you are looking for http://www.acura-cl.com/forums/showt...threadid=70725

 

That O.E. Tuning only has carbon fiber engine covers for our car, not carbon fiber hoods.

 

This is the e-mail that I got from O.E. Tuning Inc.

i tried asking people about it, but i didn't get too many responces. we needed a min of 10 people.

 

I've been contemplating it on and off for about four months now.

Best guess it'd be around $500 to get a custom carbonfibre hood made for our car. Everytime I see all the little rock chips and stuff in my hood I get the urge to get a CF hood made.

If I did one, it'd look pretty close to stock, except near the back I'd have some mild heat extractors because our stock hood doesn't flow heat worth crap when the car isn't moving.

 

my bad, wrong CF link....

I'm interested in purchasing a carbon fiber hood also but I don't know who makes a quality carbon fiber hood. If the hood is OEM style and made of great quality than I would definetly buy one. Does anyone know the weight of the hood ?

 

I would be interested in getting one, but would want to see the quality of it first

 

It doesn't bother you guys that the hood would be a different color than the rest of thier car!!!!!!!!

 

my car is black to begin with so i think the carbon fiber would be a good contrast

 

Mine is Aegean and no it wouldn't bother me, HOWEVER I would want one that uses the stock locking mechanism, not those silly racer slide pin things (too early can't remember word must sleep more).

 

you mean hood pins?

even with the factory locking mechanism, hood pins are still strongly suggested. air likes to get underneath the hood at highway speeds, and if you dont have the hood pins to keep it down...... your CF hood could fly off the front of the car

(i have two friends with DSM's and they've had this happen)

 

I think a TLS at the PAA meet had a CF hood...but i'm guessing it was custom also.

 

imo, i like the carbon fiber look, i wouldn't paint it the same color as the car.

 

wtf the carbon fiber hood can jus fly open and if i did buy a cf hood i wouldnt get hood pins i dont think they will look right on a cl

 

I must agree with that.....what the f_uck why could they make it so it dousn't need those damn pins. I'm willing to pay extra for that
