Generic carbon fiber hood

[hancockd]

here's one....but its for a coupe http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/98-0...ryZ33646QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

maybe check with the seller since i see them selling them all the time maybe they might have a sedan one sitting around??

from what i understand some of the cheaper hoods fade and even crack. so i would be wary of that. a people i know have VIS hoods and they say that the finish on them isnt so great, and thats a pretty good company. I'd just be prepared to get what you pay for. That thing is like a magnet for the sun and will take a lot of abuse.

I believeI have a generic CF hood, bought it for $125 off craigslist for the purpose of painting over it in the far future and weight savings.....its oxidated like hell but watever lulz......it fitted well in my opinion......the grooves on the edges are rough and looks cheap up close

Since your emphasis are on appearance and fitment instead of brand/quality........generic hood isn't so bad

Where are they located for local pick up?

I also have a generic CF hood. But I guess I paid too much because it was $200 picked up used, but still pretty mint.

A member on this forum did it for me.

I've read that youve gotten a sedan hood. From the ebay link about, it is for a coupe.
So if i got the coupe one, what challenges will i be facing?
