Is a carbon fiber hood lighter than a normal hood? Is that people install them (for racing or something)? [/quote]

v0lc0m85

yeah its like 10lbs, compaired to the stock 25. not that much diffrence, its mostly for looks now a days

Jammet

damn 1o lbs that's awesome, I wouldn't mind having one, but I'd probably see if I could match the color.

v0lc0m85

talk to steven@bbist.com drop him a email. he does some colors i duno what tho

MrJohnson

pics b0rked?

slikewhoa

OMG THAT LOOKS FREAKIN SWEET!

damn how much was that hood?

has anyone heard of dry carbon fiber? I saw it on a WRX, but it was a long time ago...so i really don't remember what it looked like, besides dry.

v0lc0m85

400 + shipping. oh and when i get a chance, ill post up some nice day time shots, the dark garage shots dont bring out the true beauty lol.

Silly_tC

is it true carbon fiber quality??? underside carbon too??? and how are the edges and does it fitt perfectly****, hard to install???

v0lc0m85

yeah its double sided cf. the edges are clean. the fit is prefect, you just gotta adjust it a little bit. move the latch over or what ever, and just make the perfect fit. there is like a little gap one one side and close on the other, but thats cuz im too lazy to fix it now, but all you gotta do is loosen it, slide it over a bit and tighten again. oh it has no windshield washer nozzle holes, so i just disconnected the hose, zip tied the end off and pushed the extra into a hole into the cf hood out of the way

not a real fan of cf hoods but the black glass roof makes it flow very nicely. Looks alot better than 99% of other cf hoods out there.

sonic_va

the tC would be one of the few cars where a CF trunk would actually look good as well.

v0lc0m85

only other car i thought looked good with a cf trunk well other than a xb, was the lexas is3000 i think. there are like 2 around here that have cf hoods and trunks. looks pretty good. i dont think i want a cf hatch tho. im trying to debate on weather to put my windshield washer nozzles on this hood.. any input?

bdballer69

looks great...i want one

Streeter

so long as your windshield nozzles aren't lit - go for it

tcwannab

purrrrrrrrrrrrty, cant wait for daytime pics :D

v0lc0m85...I will live vicariously through you and your tC. All you need is a TWM short shifter and bBist CF trunk and you would have satisfied my tC needs...

Also, try mounting the nozzles on your wiper assembly... If not, leave them off. Rain-x periodically and have a squeegee handy. :D

Somnambulated

That looks really, really good.

I'm unsure about a CF hatch... That's a lot of weight reduction, but also a BIG install. How would the rear window be supported?

fireballfish

is that like a Lexus from Texas?

Lexus IS300 (inline-6)
Lexus IS430 (V
both same chassis
in my opinion the best looking car I've seen in a long while. It really suprised me when toyota brought them here to the US.
