#105690, "RE: Ebay Carbon Fiber Hoods" In response to In response to 8 Apr-27-12 09:18 AM by Sorry_i_Win
Originally posted by 420agreenvilleSC I had a hood EXACTLY like that. I had a good amount of high underhood temps, and after some time passed, this occurred and got worse every week. I tried a heat barrier, but it just peeled off so be aware. over time, the heat started to cause the clearcoat to separate from the carbon fiber, thus uglyness began to occur and got worse
Hmm... I definitely don't want that but I also plan on doing as much as possible to keep temps down (manifold wrap, maybe turbo blanket, vented hood, etc.).
I'm even thinking of modding my stillen from bumper to divert air under the car towards the exhaust manifold and out threw the hood vents. I just wonder if this will cause the hood's clear coat to be damaged like you described since the heat will be directed towards the hood.
Anyone know anyone who can help me tune this in the Pittsburgh area (Greensburg)?
