It is kevlar and cf. I will try to get an underside pic. No fitment issues. They come from one mold and it produces what you see in the pics !

 

I am intrerested but who makes the hood and what is kevlar??...i know carbon fiber...but what is with kevlar. How much would the hood be delevered to boston, MA??...thanxs btw looks siiickkkkk

 

With the car already having a light-weight aluminum 22lb hood, is there really anything saved with a cf or cf/kevlar hood?

 

The hod is likely around 20 lbs so no big saving in weight with the cf hoods. Kevlar is a very strong material that is also used in bullet proof vests. I am no expert (at all) on kevlar but I believe it is also very light weight material. In this aplication I think it is used more for cosmetics to give the hood the "silverish" look.

Boston'sEvO-->8 , It would be $1099 shipped and the lead time from order to completion of hood is approx. 2 weeks !

 

Carbon fiber is strong but brittle. Carbon-kevlar is used when some pliability (bendiness) is needed since it's not as likely to shatter.

 

BTW, kevlar is no lightweight. Kevlar is used in combat helmets. It will stop an M16 round (not from point blank though)

 

I stand corrected. I thought maybe it was a lightweight material that found it's way to this kind of appllication but it sounds like it is just used for cosmetics and durability.

 

ok so this is a very strong hood...i like how that sounds...any pics of it...top side and underside....how bout stats of how much it weighs and all...and price...

 

kinda expensive aint it?

 

the pics you show of your hood on a car is of a member here on evom....and i had pmed him a while back and he said it cost him quite a bit lower then what you are advertising

 

I am waiting on the pics and yes, a member from these boards has it and it was , I believe, some form of sponsorship , so I am sure it was cheaper.
