9238, Carbon Fiber Hood Posted by optimuspeterson, Oct-07-01 01:03 PM Where is a good place to buy one from. i see some on groupbuycenter.com for like 475 shipped. I was also looking on NOPI's site and looked at there CF hoods and it didn't look like there was a hump on them. what are some questions that i should ask on the quality and who manufactured them. is there any manufacture to stay away from?

9243, RE: Carbon Fiber Hood Posted by optimuspeterson, Oct-08-01 06:57 AM when you put carbon fiber hood on, do you have to use hood pins? or can you use the orginal hood latch to keep the hood shut?
9244, RE: Carbon Fiber Hood Posted by optimuspeterson, Oct-08-01 07:24 AM another question, how good of quality are these hoods? and how many layers do they have, and what company makes it?
9245, RE: Carbon Fiber Hood Posted by 9D9 MITSU RS, Oct-08-01 07:49 AM Some have latches, but are too light not to use pins. Use pins or it might fly off.

9247, RE: Carbon Fiber Hood Posted by HadesOmega, Oct-08-01 09:54 AM Man wish I had some $$$, I heard that without hood pins the sides might catch wind when driving at high speeds and you'll get drag or YIPES the hood will fly open.
