Does anybody know where you can get a carbon fiber hood with a scoop intergraed in to it for the xa?

 

C-one makes a CF hood with a scoop for the xA.

be prepared and pay $858 if you want the c-one cf hood.

 

ouch!!! Are there any others?

 

Besides the C-one hood, you're out of luck. There's the OEM CF hood and you could try to fab a scoop from it. :p

 

what about a hood with a scoop? I've not seen any ... checking if anyone else has?

 

thats the only option i've seen or even heard of and i'm sure if a new one was available this communitity would have covered it.

 

I agree with xA driver $850 is a steep price on a hood. Has anyone evenr gone to Motor FX, and see if they could do something? Do we think that there would be enough interest to do one? I would be in if they did

 

i think the big issue is no one really has the money like the majority of group buys i see lots of interest but not everyone can pull through.

 

Does anybody know of anyone in the states with the c-one hood? Depending on if I ever get the stupid c-one spoiler in it might be halfway cool to have one of the few scooped hoods in the USA

 

Stupid? IMO the C-One rear spoiler blows away every other spoiler on the market.

I would rather spend my money on an xA hood with a reverse vent for pulling hot air out of the engine compartment. [Similar to what is available for the tC.] The scoop style is outdated, and not as effective for cooling. I think it's only a matter of time before the reverse vent style is available.

yeah the vader style hood is already available for the xb too.

 

I'd definitely agree. The C-One spoiler is clean, subtle, and sporty-looking all at the same time. That is a rare thing.

Once upon a time, I ran into someone selling a C-One kit. The real deal. Approx. $1700?! And that's without shipping. No doubt that is a great deal for a nice looking kit. But I went with the Vizage kit just because it was sooo much cheaper.

 

How ong has the xA been available vs. the tC? And the only options we have are the OEM hood, or the c-one hood. Does anyone know if a vader or anything is under development anywhere?

 

There was once a group buy for a Ferarri style CF hood, but that one fell through due to the pricing and lack of interest.

The xA isn't a hot item on manufacturers list unlike the xB and tC. There isn't a high demand for vented CF hoods so no one will manufacture them.

The C-one kit, imo is one of the best lip kits for the xA. Too bad it won't fit on US models.

 

Other than the advetisement pic of the c-one xa, does anybody else have a pic of the c-one hood on their xa? Why doesnt the c-one lip kit fit the US models?

 

No one I know has or ever seen the CF hood on a xA (Save for JP iSt models)

The C-one kits front lip is made for the iSt bumper which is slight shorter than ours (xA's have a bumper core reinforcement...)
