Got my Fiber Images red/black hood installed! :D It took about 10 minutes to do and NO ADJUSTMENTS were needed. The hood went on, cleared everything and most important, NO RATTLES like the cheaper hoods!!!! I have a friend that put a cheaper hood on his car and it rattles on the freeway. (Fiber Images stands it ground like the OEM hood) Hope the pics came out ok!

Sweet hood , I wonder how good that would look on a Black Cherry XB :?:

I got the red/black hood cuz all my accents are red. The Red/Black hood really stands out which is exactly what I wanted. Munch, I think it would look killer on your car! :D It really bothers me having our Scion brothers and sisters opting to use the cheaper stuff and then getting disappointed. The quality of the Fiber Images carbon is the best made! It's more expensive but like they say, You get what you pay for. Look at the pics.

Is it like a bright red or a dark red :?: I can't really tell from the pics.

Just a general question about your hood.....are you seeing it flutter in the wind when your driving? Do you feel hood pins are nessacary with this type of car?

Wow! :D
That looks great and Munch it would look awesome on a BCP!
Would love to see it with a hood scoop!
Congratulations dsidescion, NICE! I sometimes think it looks a little awkward to see a hood with a color different from the body color of most cars IMO :? but, to each their own and you've got a color scheme working...

:shock: SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!!!!
where did u get your headlights?

If it was anything other than a Fiber Images, I would definitely put the pins in. On the Fiber Imaes hood, I got it up to about 85mph on the way to work today and NO FLUTTER OR RATTLES AT ALL!! I think their stuff is strong enough so no pins for the Fiber Images!

WHOA!! that hood is sick.. is it double sided as well?? looks great.

randy: that looks hot man!!! you should have tested it out on mine first (then i make a mad dash up north with your hood on... :wink: )

that red is the sh*t :!:

looks good

cost?

:D Munch, xB ey, this hood would be perfect with your black cherry!! The match is the same color. Now I can't wait to get my red seats! The regular carbon fiber is $450 and the colored ones are $550. Fiber Images has 5 colors, regular carbon, blue, orange, red and yellow. They all look GREAT!!! Can't wait till Fiber Images releases their rear carbon fiber wing!!!!

That hood would definately look sick on a Black Cherry....not too sure about the black though...

That's cool that you got a carbon fiber hood...but why red? I know your accents are red, but IMO it looks out of place. Like as if a bird pooped your regular hood and dented it, so you got a BCP hood =P

i think it looks great on a black xB

I thought alot about it and on the black box, a regular carbon hood wouldn't stand out at all. With the red carbon, it makes the box stand out, even in a big crowd. :D I guess i'm weird but maybe that's why the call me the "crazy chinaman!"

i got a hot lava would a orange cF hood look sweet on my car or what.. i don't really know that much on cF so what should i do?? is 550 a good price or what.. .can they throw in a induction scoop to cool my engine down?? thankz alot ur car is hot..

Fiber Images' website is "www.fiberimages.com" but they just got a new web guy so it's not up completely yet. No scoop either cuz I posted to see how many people would want them with a scoop but no one really confirmed.

:D

looks tight man.i should go talk to them at FI.i need one.you know what sux about being out here in lancaster,is that nobody does shiit for body work.no custom options out here.blah!!!

You don't need to run pins with Fiber Image hoods. We've been selling them for over two years with no problems. I just put one on my Hot Lava and it went perfect. Looks awesome with the orange. I went with the regular weave color. pm me if anyone has any questions on one. Soon as I find the memory stick for my camera I'll get some pics up :roll: Probably have to buy a new one.... :lol:

I would highly recommend running hood pics with ANY composite hood, even if it's not constructed of two halves epoxied together. The latch assembly is still a component that can always separate from the hood structure if you're unlucky. I've had several friends have their cf hoods-both low quality, and high quality ones-pop open at freeway speeds and break their windshields and dent their roofs. It's cheap insurance to run pins, and unless Fiber Images offers a full compensation guarantee to pay for the cost of repairs incurred from a *possible* failure, it's still not worth dealing with the headaches of having to try and get reimbursement for repairs to your car... of if you're really unlucky, you won't have to worry about any of that because you won't be around anymore...

nice car.. hotT hood hehe everything looks hotT

Are those BB headlights I see? SWEET! :D

:D Thanks for the compliments djimpak! I'm trying! Those are the JDM headlights that are on the car. Look at the new registry pics, I just put on the JDM fog lights too! You can tell they are the JDM cuz they are clear and the U.S. ones have that smoke tint on it! westsype, let me know if you want them! :D

How close is that color to Black Cherry Pearl. Would if completely clash, or would it be a close match?

I like ... I would like to see it on a Dark Red Scion ... I think it would look BAD ___!

The CF hood looks awesome! :D

Nice. I'm looking at getting one of their hoods for my Z :) .

Dangit why don;t they have an xA hood? :roll:

i've owned Fiber Image hoods on several vehicles including my race car. I've been upwards of roughly 165mph indicated with it on an allmotor integra. They're constuction is cf and fiberglass. the structural supports are fiberglass and i don't know of one instance where a Fiber image hood has seperated. Is it a good idea to have hood pins? sure..is it necessary? No

150mph

http://a8.cpimg.com/image/F2/41/8644338-d1a8-028001E0-.jpg

I eventually put them(pins) in for aerodynamics purposes(at high speeds you may see a little lift on one side http://a6.cpimg.com/image/A8/70/9487016-dbb1-01900190-.jpg

http://a1.cpimg.com/image/9D/05/8325021-243e-02000180-.jpg

if you want detailed photos of thier construction i believe i have those photos as well.

keep in mind...what are we doing? 80mph in our xB's?

It is a dead ringer for the Black Cherry!! :D I've been up to 95 and no shaking of the hood. I guess it's up to the person, I trust Fiber Images quality to not come apart so that's why no pins. It's kinda like if you are sick, do you trust your doctor or not?!? If you let the doctor treat you, think about this. read their license on the wall. It says they are allowed to PRACTICE medicine on you! That's alot scarier than no pins! :D

http://a6.cpimg.com/image/14/F0/13673236-ca80-024001C7-.jpg this one was an Imoto hood....and i definitely had pins for this one
