  • Carbon Fiber Hood

    Not real carbon fiber but the next best thing.

    This method is pretty expensive.

    Also a paint method..I haven't tried it but it looks interesting, i'll definitely try out later though.

    If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?

        That is a real carbon fiber wrap hood (since it's actually a fiberglass body) Those came out looking great though.

            Don't think so on the group build. The guy Wes found to do the hoods has FLAKED OUT. Need to find a new resource.

                              That's exactly why I didn't want to offer my FG hood to get the mould made up, sucks to hear that happened to you though
