There was a thread about a guy in California that makes carbon fiber hoods... i thought is was something 3000gt... i wanted to get a quote for a hood...

thanks,

Most CF hoods are heavier than stock. Don't waste the money.

That guy? He makes some killer looking hoods in paint-matching colors too. Cheaper than most of the other c/f makes, and supposedly his won't yellow after a year because he uses high-quality UV resistant clearcoat. I'm thinking about getting a hood from him as well, but it's something I'll do after performance mods & new wheels...

 

This company does good work

I had clearcoat problems on my 200sx with a FI hood.

 

Robispec!!

 

yep this is the guy... i thought his hood was lighter than stock but i am going to call today about it... it looks like he does very quality work...

isn't the RobiSpec hood like 1100 dollars? i sent him an email for a quote but i thought it was really expensive...


Thanks,

cf hood that is lighter than the stocker = 1.5k +

 

wow, that is a shock to me. i thought CF was always lighter. is the same true for s2k hoods? their hoods are damn light.

 

my Deft Racing CF hood is lighter than stock

I paid $300

 

What about a Carbon Fiber wind front end diffuser/splitter? Where did you guys get yours?

 

They are elusive and I have not found any yet for a reaonable price...

 

+1 for robispec, really high quality dry carbon hoods and trunks. Hoodpins come highly recomended for the hoods. Varis also makes really nice carbon stuff as well.

 

be forewarned....CF is in high demand so its going to be super expensive

 

I'm the guy you're talking about, and yeah, i have a 3000GT spyder.

Here she is with my 575 style CF hood
