Have any of you heard of using Kevlar in car parts? I found this hood on ebay claims to be made partially of Kevlar and is available in 4 colors!!?!! Anyone have thoughts or info?

yeah, in some cases its stronger then carbon fiber, its called carbon kevlar. and it looks cooler too.

EDIT: its also cheaper to buy the material.

 

that hood is so fresh looking, i wonder how the fitment is bcuz its on ebay it might not fit right, but for 850 bucks it better fit perfect!

 

yeah looks blinger if i had the cash i'd get a blue one..

 

Gonna put this in show and shine.

Carbon kevlar weave is fairly common. I think the normal carbon fiber hoods are carbon graphite (carbon being the black, graphite being the silver). Kevlar, as most people probably know it, is an extremely strong material when tightly woven and is used most commonly in bullet-proof vests. As I understand it, and from looking at the prices of hoods, it's much more expensive than the graphite weave.

 

does anyone know if these hoods are still around?

 

duno but i have seen those kevlar seats for 1500(for the pair)

 

I wish I had the cash for em... They are sooo sweet
