Does anyone make these for the xB. I'll be installing a twincharge setup over the winter and am looking for additional cooling as I'm imagining a turbo + s/c will build up quite a bit of heat under the hood.

I am not a fan of CF, especially not on the xB and for my application weight savings is not a concern. it would also throw off the color scheme and I'd have to paint it anyway. I'd like to keep the wiper nozzles if at all possible.

For those who are curious, here's what's going in under the hood:

There is a vented hood by bbist.that comes in fiberglass.
I know my buddy has a brand new one if you like it.

 

Hmm.. did he just never install it? BBist is out of business now aren't they? I'll need to eyeball how far up the scoops go, since they poke down into the engine bay I wouldn't want them hitting the supercharger, which sits up higher than the stock intake manifold, not to mention the intake and charge pipes for the turbo that go over top of the engine cover. I may just end up hacking a stock one if I can find it at a salvage yard, fiberglass in a scoop and repaint.

 

i would say take the stock hood to a body shop and have them put in the old school luvers(sp) like the hot rods have that would deffently be different and custom

 

He was sponsored and never got around to install it.

 

Well, something for down the road, once the install is complete. I'd hate to be one of those people running scoops on a stock engine bay, just gets it dirty quicker. If your car looks fast, it better be fast.

 

^FOR SURE!

 

By the time I install the hood, mine should be fast as this is what will be under it:

 

is bbist realy out of biznez? because i was planing on ordering some stuff for xmas.....please say it aint so!!

 

Yes, they really are. Certain things (like headlights and taillights) are readily available elsewhere (for cheaper).

 

everytime we ordered from them, somthing went wrong.

 

^ Or the parts fit like crap.......

 

He's been out of business for awhile now. I had the double-vented cf hood, and the fitment was horrible. And it faded after only 3 weeks. But I didn't buy it from bBist, I got it off eBay.

 

not tryin 2 thread jack but how much does ur friend want 4 that hood

 

sorry dude, I sold the very last one last week for 80 bucks and it was brand new wrapped and never installed! I had it up on the classifieds for a good minute unitl.........nevermind. Although if you know anyone with a tcm, I have 5 oem silver carbon hoods for 125 a piece.

 

How's the fit on the silver CF hoods? I wouldn't mind driving down south to grab one.

 

don't own this but it may be what you're looking for

Looks like it might work, but Audioformz is hella expensive. At $500, I could probably find an OEM steel hood, add a duct, and paint it for the same price. I can do body work and paint, so labor is free. Just gotta find a donor hood.
