CF Hood

RUTH'LESS 200sx · 02-25-2005, 04:26 PM

Where is the best place to get a carbon fiber hood from, I see these hoods on ebay but I am kinda of skeptical because of the prices. Anyone know any good places.

ive seen some on ebay but i think those require hood pins which isnt really my thing, and i'm not sure i trust them either. The ones that I know of are...

fiber images
VIS

They are pricey but i've heard good things about them an they use a stock hood latch. I'm hoping to pick one up in march.

vis=heavy as sh*t not even worth replacing the stock hood with it IMO they are really good quality ***

None of the CF hoods out there use the stock hood latch. They might be "like" the stock latch, but that's it. I would suggest using hood pins on ALL CF hoods.

As far as quality goes, the Fiber Images I feel is the best. From what's I've seen it is the lighest out of all of them. But if you want to get an E-bay one, I would always try to see it in person before you buy. Also try to get one locally, CF hoods almost always get damaged in transit and I wouldn't want to risk it.
