Hey guys,

So my hood is pretty beat up from rock chips and bird crap seeping through the clear coat. I called my shop and they said it's $300 to repaint.
If I got a carbon fiber hood how much does it cost? obviously the best deal is the option. Lowest I found a carbon fiber (vis) hood was for around 500.xx
Any suggestions where I can look and the prices for these?

 

vis is the best, there's another company Carbon Creations and Carbon EFX (i think) make them too... just go on ebay to check price. its like $350 shipped or something close to that.

 

but how is the fitment? do u know anyone with a cf hood thats not vis?

 

go carbon fiber. I have been searching for a used one, and just waiting for someone to ruin my hood so i have an excuse.

 

go carbon fiber. i got mine for $580 shipped, vis hood. great fitment and great quality.

got mine from Carbon Innovation
great ppl working their. fantastic communication. and fast shipping. i needed a favor from them and they did it with out asking any questions as to why i wanted the recite to look like i did. great ppl working their.
gonna buy the cf trunk from them too

 

Yea, those guys seem to be top notch. Ill be ordering my stuff from them as well.

I vote CF, and Id go with VIS. They have been in the game for quite some time. There are other brands, but I am unsure about fitment or what their quality is (clearcoat, grade A cf, and so forth). Seibon also has been around for awhile and makes some good stuff, but I dont think they do the CL.

 

i went through a similar situation, go cf

theres a dude selling a cf hood in the black market

 

For the CL...considering fitment and overall quality.

VIS > *

Mine needs to be wet-sanded and cleared.

I'd probably sell it to you locally if you care for it.

Let me know.

 

go with cf, i picked one up used for $200

 

is that the ebay seller?

 

^ what?

Just type in VIS.

A few eBay sellers have them from my recollection.
