How about you give us those first 10 for 10 bucks each :D

It's all about promotional deals!
fits the sedan?
and do you have specs on weight as compared to original hood?
Yes, fits both the Koup & Sedan, all motors :)

I will get the weight differences for you ASAP! You typically save 50 - 70% in weight with the carbon fiber hood vs stock. No tot mention it just looks slick :)

Thanks

that has always been my question- i've seen so many CF products out there- and i dont think i've seen one that compares stock to the CF
*and silly question here cuz i am not a tuner--- if you replace stock hood w/ CF- why not replace the trunk lid also?
Let's see how the hood sells before we jump into the trunk :)

thank you, very much appreciated. It'll be nice if we can save like 30 lbs woth a cf hood. Does it have some sort of prop rod included? because our prop rods are on the hood instead the frame (which I know you've noticed lol)
and I'm guessing it fits with the hood latch?
new to cf hoods lol so sorry for dumb questions
TK- how durable is the clear coat? Will it hold up to some road rash (chips/scrapes)? The factory cc is crap!
cool but Idk if I want that now, I think mybe later, but how much is it tho??
one silly question i havent seen pop up before-
why- if you have the weight advantage of a CF hood-
why wouldnt you paint it stock - to hide that advantage?
sure the paint might weigh a lil more- but isnt that all part of the fun?
(i like losing weight- but i dont wanna look like i am out trying to race all the ricers here in tampa......)
**but if it came down to it- sure- i might smoke a lil rice here and there :)

You can paint CF but I believe, and anyone correct me if I'm wrong, you can still see the texture of the CF. You could buy a fiberglass hood which weighs even less than CF and paint it to match the body of your car.

It costs $599.00.

Its not only that it weighs less, it also looks badass. And 599 isn't a bad price.
Shipping must be expensive for a big piece like this.
Come on Economy your killing me here. 600+shipping. ouch
come on guys you pay for what you get 600 for a cf hood realy is not that bad at alll and it does look bad ass if ur into it you should scoop it up im sure the shippin realllly isnt goin to be that bad and yea personally i would like to see the hood and trunk come both carbon fiber with like a package deal or somthing but hey i understand gotta see if its gunna sell first good job turbokits*****
Carbon fiber hood for 599? thats insane. the most ive ever payed for a CF hood was 425, and it was made by VIS racing. 599 plus shipping is rediculous. 599 shipped, now that might be something looking into...
Yes, there is a spot on the CF hood to attach the factory prop rod. There is also a hood latch as well. We do suggest the use of hood pins as extra safety, but it does have a hood latch.

It's done very well, there is a 6 month warranty on it too :)

Since most people buy the hoods for the look as well as the weight advantage painting the CF is rare, however, a good painter should be able to match your color and allow some of the pattern to come through which would be pretty sick :)

To CANADA, yes, it would be pretty expensive. It about $90 - $130 to ship in the US.
