Does any company make a CF hood for our cars? I know the CL side has them (with a little fitment issues), but I've never heard of a TL kind. If they are not available, how much do you think it would cost to get one custom made?

Before the rice comments, I would paint it. I'm only considering this because of hail damage.

If it's under 10k, I might start shopping.

 

If its Under 10K? woahhh that would get you a New and Shiny Comptech Supercharger + 6Spd Swap + StopTech BBK.... Thats alot of Money to spend on CF son..

 

Just figured custom design would be expensive. Definitely not worth the weight savings, but that hail damage estimate was like 6k. Just figured, it might be worth paying the difference from the insurance. Then again, I'd have to replace more than just the trunk and hood.

Guess I'll put it on the back burner.

 

Yeah lets just Stay away from Crashes Shall we?

Most Crashes damage some other Stuff so the Actual Difference could be Bigger or Car being Totaled sooo Why to Care now??
Just like I said Try not to get into Any A Crash is Not Cool...


I hope I dont get into any cuz Im only Salvaging my Engine to do a Sand Buggy..... IMHO Repairing a TL is More Expensive in the Long Run.

 

for 10k why not just sell or part out and buy a whole new car?

 

I believe Seibon makes a CF hood for our cars, but when i say "our" i'm talking about the 99-01. Idk about the 02-03, id the cost would be much at all. My speculation would put costs at around 1k if u go through private but less if you do it yourself. Then again, idk the cost of CF itself.

 

I have enough money to drive whatever I want (ok not a Lambo), but I just love my TL. Probably because it's my first car.
Thanks! I think I'll go for a hood. Mine is kind of misaligned anyway.

 

Well in that case, go for it! Would be cool to see a TL with a CF hood

 

Did some searching, and apparently there are already some out there. Fitment is iffy though, as they aren't being made by a reputable company. Guess I'll just rock dents for a while.
