My CF hood finally arrived yesterday, and I thought I would share with you. I purchased it through www.creativecompacts.com and although the site is not completely finished and up to par, you may purchase if you wish. I also installed the CF dash kit and WR secret intake this weekend. They are also available for purchase. You can check out more pics on my site http://members.cardomain.com/lvnurs9

 

Sweet Now you need the hatch to complete the whole top

 

LVNURS9-

I checked out your cardomain.com page and I saw that you said you had some problems with the latch on the CF hood. Can you elaborate? I really wanna get one. Thanks.

Juan

P.S. Cool intake!

 

Hrmmm... Is it just me or is there a bigger gap on the sides...compared to the stock hood?

 

The piece attached to the hood (the latch lol) is attached with screws- not fixed like the stock. Because the hood is so light, it didn't wanna snag. We just used washers to make the latch a lil thicker and it worked just fine. We contacted the company and the probelm has been corrected. You wouldn't have the problem if you purchased it. I bought the first hood from them.

As far as the gap, I am sure it is slightly wider than stock, but not by much. If you have seen a CF hood on any other vehicle it's the same way. That close up was at an angle, which may make it look a little bit larger than it is. I think it fits perfectly.

 

Nice! I'm definelty going to look into that!

 

nice!! im still waiting for mine to arrive

 

that looks awsome. i think im going to have to look into that, but first im getting the injen exhaust. i gotta live one paycheck at a time haha. i wonder how good it will look on my white tc? probly would look good with the smoked overlays too

 

looks great...I think im going drop my tC first before the CF hood.

 

Thanks for the info and for answering so quickly!

 

You are welcome. Anyone is welcome to contact me if you have any questions. Check out my WR intake and CF dash kit on my website as well as www.creativecompacts.com

 

Same here. I'm dying for lowering springs! (dont want the TRD ones)

 

how do you like the cf dash kit? good quality? look tacky at all?

 

gain of 13 hp just through the intake?

something is fishy.....

 

I was skeptical about the kit at first, but I think it looks really good. The CF flows really well with the black interior. Like I said, check out my site for pics or creativecompacts.com.

As far as the intake...check his website. The dyno sheet is there to prove it. The intake is a new design made to push more air through the throttle body by inserting another, smaller intake inside the 3.5in pipe. You can see an uninstalled picture on my site and an explanation on his.

 

 

Looks awsome, only question I have is where to the washer jets go?or do you just lean out the window and spray it down when your driving in the snow?

 

Some cf hoods don't have the washer nozzles pre-drilled at all. It looks like this is the case with this one.

The 13hp gain on just the weapon R intake does sound fishy.

 

There are no pre drilled holes, sorry. It's a brand new hood. I will contact the company to see what can be done about having them drilled.

As far as the intake, look for yourself:
