hmm, could this be real, ive never heard of it before

 

hahahaah i like how its V1 instead of C-one

 

but thats not the c-one cf hood

 

its not even close to the c-one style. But regardless, looks pretty sick. Im not a big fan of flashy vents and overkill kits, but that is pretty clean. I wonder if its fairly functional as well, but overall i would be skeptical on weather its real fiber or not seeing how there is such a shortage right now. I cant really see some new company being able to offer such a competitive initial start-up price.

 

that hood is awesome. i might sell my oem style cf one and pick it up. good find.

 

i was not commenting on the looks but the simularity in names. you find that alot on knockoff stuff. looks good though

So.. Has anyone gotten this yet? or seen it in person. or found pictures of it other then the top down one? I am seriously considering getting it, but I want a little more info before taking the plunge.

 

Wish I could see some of these on a Salsa Red xA. I sort of wish I went with a different color at times.

 

Does that hood actually help or hinder the aerodynamics of the car? I have a CAI also, I wish I knew how this affected it as well.

 

So, I got the hood. Heres what i looks like on the xA. It needed some minor modification, but overall I am very happy with it.

 

Beautiful! PLEASE let me know what "Minor modifications" you need to do? I have some fitting probs on the right front side with my CF hood and am looking for a simple solution.

Again great hood dude!!

 

looks good!! are you coming to aslyum? i would love to see it in person.

 

minor modifications needed were:

to cut out another notch for the hood latch to fit. It was a few mins of playing with it and wondering why it wouldnt latch. Then a few more mins of dremmel action to cut out a notch.



then there was the prop hole was too small. more dremmeling.



then finally there was a little bit too much resin around the pre-cut holes for the washer nozzles. I didn't have the nerve for this cut, but I trusted my friend had.



other than that. it was a little to close on the driver side, but there wasnt much wiggle room for the hood, so we loosened up the fender a bit and pulled it out slightly and tightened it back up.

Thanks to all that helped me out that day!

Oh and I had the whole hood covered in one sheet of clear bra and custom cut.

 

Heh before I get accused to thread jacking. You got B@lls or steel to take a knife to the hood! Better man than I Mine came with no pre-cut holes for the washer nozzles and I am terrified to cut them myself.

Looks like this Vented hood is pretty cool. If I had unlimited funds I would have one made with a vent on the front left side and make a mold to get the air right to the CAI!

Could happen!
