Carbon fibre hood
I think a hood made out of carbon fibre with clear coat on it would look really good on my black C5 FRC.
Question is, does anybody know where to buy one or do I have to make my own, just like the parts I had to do for the Viper? http://viperclubnordic.membro.se/ed/mess/95182/01.jpg |
So how did you make the parts for the vipor? Did you build molds?
|
The MCM hood has an option for a clear carbon fiber center portion that looks very :cool: The rest is painted.
It sounds like you are looking for an all carbon fiber hood, VIS makes one. I can only see that looking ok on a black C5 like yours, any other car it just looks a little too rice. The fiberglass hood is already pretty light, any difference in weight wouldn't be too apparent. |
Yes JPC Composite made molds out of the original parts.

Sorry but the MCM is a high-rise, ugly and the VIS-hoods are just to much!
Looks like I´m on my own again.... |
Isnt the '04 Z16 hood all carbon fiber? If so you can just get one of those and have it clear coated.

I believe VIS makes carbon fiber hood in stock format.

Looks like I´m on my own again.... And you should be on your own, you lack any respect for us here.. why not go over on the Viper forum and ask there.. to add insult here. you chose a Viper screen name here on a corvette forum , are you too dumb to realize you can have more than one screen name. Or are you just a Viper troll.. |

You come here asking for help and insult the hundreds of people who have an MCM hood, the best carbon fiber production hood on the palnet for a C5 or C6. the fit is world class, but then you said " I guess I am on my own "

for $895 VIS makes an exact dup of the stock one in CF, high gloss, just what you're looking for.
Looks good to me. Somewhere there as a super cheap one for racing too, fit wasn't spectacular, had to drill your own mount holes here and there, but it was the tune of $450 if I remember correctly. can't find it off hand, here's the VIS one: http://www.yakuzaracing.com/en-us/dept_268.html |

Hope you find a hood that will work for you. :thumbs: |
man.. why is everyone so harsh.. i want him to make his own and post pics of it on here.. maybe he can make me one
|
If he could, how much $$$ to ship a hood from SWEDEN?
In how many pieces would it be in when it arrived?

that mgm hood may be the ugliest hood ever produced in my opinion.

VIS carbon fiber C5 hood in stock style for under $700. If that's too expensive then maybe you shouldn't be modding a Corvette. or a viper.
