Default Installed NEW RaceOnUSA Vented CF Hood! Plugs install or no.

Ok here it is!



Im so excited about it. But what do most people think on installing the washer nozzles to use the WS wash and hood pins with the lock?

Comments, suggestions? Please post here

Hood looks good, although I don't think it flows well with the cars' bodylines. I'm more concernicus about that spoiler you have in the rear. Do you have any pics of that? From this picture, I would take it off.

yeah now that i think about it. The hood I wish the vent was a bit smaller. And the spoiler. its okay, but i mean what spoiler other than the pedestal and kaminari would look good that has all CF made into it?

I went with carbon fiber hood and spoiler to kinda level out the CF thats on the car. But until I get a new paint, I'll prob drive without the spoiler. its goofy from the rear end. And there isnt much choice for headlamps other than a retro. Im gonna get some black ones not chrome. So Ill prob sell those.

spoiler looks hot, keep up the good work xP

hood looks good too, but kind of strange since the colors don't match

The hood looks good, I like how it looks on the car. Not a fan of the Spolier but I would like to see a profile of the car too.

As for the washer nozzles I installed one of mine into the black cover piece and plugged off the other one.

Its a pic from far away but you can kinda see the nozzle. This was at the s3 show

lol, yeah i read up using "search" about CF hoods and came accross your story. Wow. Id hate for that to happen to me, it just flew off layer by layer huh. I have inspection on sat at 10am so im going to try to squeze some time to install the nozzles somewhere. Im gonna drill the hood. It can be plugged up or decaled on to block the hole for show time. Im selling my pedestal spoiler for 125. Im gonna try to get a drag base stand and make my CF spoiler lower. I like the spoiler, its just too long and the stand sucks. Thanks for the compliments guys, good to not get shot down when trying to fix up my ride.

Sorry I don't have any CF ones at the moment, actually the 2 new styles that we have are only in fiberglass, the Karmotion Canis hood will be available in carbon in the future, but not at this time. We are offreing 50% for the karmotion hood ($300) if you want to pick it (fiberglass) up after the test fitting.

I think all those hoods accept the 1st one look really ricy. Strait from china rice.

I am going to agree with delta, not a fan but that's just my opinion, that's why I just bought the OEM carbon fiber hood from you guy's last night. I hope it'll turn out okay

type-304 is more of a 240SX looking vent, similar to the DMAX style for popular drift cars..





I'de really like to see the Karmotion Canis hood on a tC all painted the same color, I think that one will look very nice.
