I've been offered a great deal on a carbon one and was just wondering if theres any real problems with the cowl and the motor being to close, and any experiences people have had with them? Worst comes to worst i'll just have to redesign my new manifold.

 

no issues at all. kaminari is one of the best hoods out there. i have thr cf version.

 

word thanks for the info.

 

I'm an owner of the fiberglass version and have had it now for 3 years. Fitment is superb. Love it to death. Great hood and if you buy one I can assure you that you will be happy with it.

 

hood holds up very well,water hardly gets in at all under hood,hood stays in good condition,mine is over two years old now and just starting to show signs of age where some rock chips have messes up my clear coat on it,fittment is very good,think mine is the only one that was shipped with the wrong hood latch on it,but other than that it fits perfect,and i like the longer latch as it hides my hood lever now that i relocated the lever down an inch.

best part of the hood is it looks very clean on the car,the cowl size is perfectly angled and raised to give a clean yet aggressive look.

 

i have the kaminari cf hood, it is a fine hood. might get in the way if you have turbo plans down the road.

 

Already am, in the process of building a new manifold, and that basically was my question was how much room do i have. If theres not much difference then ill be fine because i could just work around that or always just make a top mount i guess.

 

So what kind of deal were you offered?

 

$500.00

 

if i am not mistaken it is cheaper to buy directly from kaminari?
EDIT: it says $495.00 on the site so its about the same

 

^^yea but do they offer free shipping?

 

the carbon fiber one?

 

yup.. $495

they dropped the price significantly from what i used to remember it being over $800 easily back then.

 

no it's not free shipping

 

Oh my, time to jump on the bus!

Who's interested in this rusted carbon fiber?

I'll sell cheap!

 

lolz, you have to be kidding.

 

I don't think anyone ever showed solid proof that it can be used with a TT manifold, anybody? I so want one for next summer, just don't want to mess it up with my TT 2.1 mani.

 

just do a bottom mount manifold and you should be good.

 

Wow who does own the hood with a turbokit? I have the turbonetics turbokit, i dunno if the hood would fit as the wastegate is already taking off my insulation.

 

How much do you want for it shipped?
