Been looking for a CF hood because my hood is riddled with rock chips, plus it'll match better with the rest of the CF I got.

So far the only place i've seen local (sort of) is Vivid and they got seibon hoods, but I was looking for less of a drive to get it.


If anyone knows a more local place I can get a nice one at, let me know. Or if anyone is selling or knows someone selling a CF hood for a tC, that'll be great too.

Thanks guys/gals

 

Mine is floating around somewhere. Last I knew it was on its 3rd owner. Other than that, I dont anyone local

 

Argg.. thanks for the help. I need a hood asap, i'm tired of looking at the stock chipped up one. I'll give it another week to see if I can find one more locally for sale, if not i'll be making the trip to vivid for one.

 

I know someone that might be looking to sell, how much you looking to spend?

 

27th ave and thomas, place called versus maybe

 

ill see u mine. oem carbon fiber hood with a couple scratches fixable only the gel coat.

 

have you tried nurspec.com yet? they located here in AZ, they probably have on of the coolest customer service i have ever dealt with. and gosh dont try Versus at all, worst customer service ever. iv dealt with vivid before though, Great customer service and you get a tour of the facility and get to check out that GTR they have there lol.

 

theres someone selling a cf hood on craigslist.

 

Crispy, i'll spend what it's worth. Thinking $300 for a mint one

tCaZ, got any pics of the hood and/or of the scratches? Not really looking to FIX anything, if I can polish it out I may go for it

blacktrd, I haven't tried nurspec but I have heard about them, i'm just making sure I cover all bases on buying a used mint one rather than buying a brand new one, haha

marx, is this the one you mean?

I already emailed him. I'm not a HUGE fan of the style, but it is growing on me. Probably will look good with the mesh painted black.

 

Try Intense Racing www.intensepower.com
Talk to Darren or Pete

 

yeah thats the one...you can prolly swap out the mesh with like a clear lense so people can see parts of your engine bay.

 

Going to go look at that hood today... thinking about what I want to put there, thats a sick idea! lol I will look into that if the hood is in good condition

 

how was the hood?

 

Not going to know until after 6, the guy is going to call me when he gets off of work.

I hope it's in the shape he says it's in, i'll be driving over half an hour to get there and I hate driving at night, lol

Need me some HID's next perhaps

 

its still on our car...lol

 

lol i bought my oem carbonfiber one with innovation hood pins for only 130 bucks!! light scratches though...

 

I offered him $225 and he took it. Should've offered $200, but eh.

I bought it, it's in real good condition but the fitment wasn't pure bolt-on. It needed one 5mm (guessing, i'd say it's 5mm) spacer/washer for the top bolt on the passenger side.

But for the money I paid and the shape it's in, I can't complain. I like the look of the hood too. I already took the grills out and it helps 100% with the look of it. Painting them black tomorrow. Then i'm going to work on something a little more unique this weekend.

I'd still rather have the kami reverse cowl but this will do for now
