Now that's pretty cool. An RS1 C/F lip kit is callin' your name.

Got any pics of the spoiler? PM me.

 

is that one from vis? do you have pic of the underside cause i wonder if vis still make their hood fully carbon fiber layered...or is the underside fiberglass reinforced

 

 

you guys do realize that most of the hoods on the market are just fiberglass hoods with a sheet of carbon fiber on top?

thats why they are so cheap, if you actually purchase a full carbon fiber hood, they range anywhere from 800-1500.

why else is it that you can purchase is c/f hood for 300 -500 bucks, because its not full carbon fiber.

 

^^He's right. A full C/F hood is gonna be expensive.

 

^^not true...
Most of these are fiberglass with a CF sheet on top but...
Others like Motor FX and Seibon, are WET CF...which needs to have a coat of gloss applied every 6-10 months or it will go yellow. That kind of CF is also pretty cheap...
The expensive CF hoods that ur talking about is DRY CF which never needs a gloss coat and is extremely expensive

 

Yes, it is from VIS and no i dont not have ne pics from underneath, but i can tell you that the vents have the water guards in them and it is fiberglass reinforced underneath.

 

gloss has nothing to do with it, its about the skeleton, and hood as a whole.

as far as i know, all hte hoods availible for the tC have a fiberglass skeleton, wihch means.. its not full c/f.

thats simply what i was saying.

 

^^oh ok i get what your saying now...i'm thinking like a CF sticker on top was what u were getting at...my bad

 

ya..

i mean i would rock a c/f hood any day, however my color doesnt match c/f thats why im not gonna do it. but if i still had my black tC, i would definately be rockin c/f.

even if it is for looks, fiberglass weighs less than steel, so your still savin some weight.

 

i see..because my friend has a eclipse spyder and he got sponsored in cali. along as time ago like in 2000 and his c/f hood came from vis and it was full carbon fiber all around it was toof as hell..we would punch it and nuttin would happen..but one time a guy landed on his trunk playing foot ball and it only crack the clear coat..because i was wondering how strong are these fiberglass reinforce hood are?

 

Well, I wouldn't punch mine.

 

kiss_kiss_kill your car is sooo tight! good colors imin love with it! haha what else do you have planed for it? im loven the carbon hoods on all the cars! cant wait to get the headliner its be sweet you guy should look in to the carbon headliner!

 

cf matches any color IMO. I love cf anything.

 

Thank ya thank ya. Like my sig. says, my car ain't ever gonna be done. I ALWAYS have plans. Next on the agenda is a custom enclosure for my system with a 19" screens & a nintendo wii, & then there's a bbk I'm hoping to get from StopTech, I'm just waiting to hear back from them on prices. & within the next month or so I'm getting my dash, my armrest & my pillars carbon fibered. I also just bought a 2nd body kit & I'm gonna be shipping off my current one to florida to get more carbon fiber work done to it. & if money allows it I'm getting a full carbon fiber roof replacement. I'm also waiting on my 19" gloss black Motegi FF7s with Dunlop Sportmaxx tires.

I'm sure there's more I just can't think of it, haha.
