    Carbon Fiber hood

    Where can I find a nice carbon fiber hood? I am looking for something a little better quality than the VIS one. Does anyone know of any?

    Thanks.

    check the group buy section, there was some one offering a couple of different choices. i don't think the group buy is going to happen , but their are the sorces.

      Thanks, but I'm not interested in buying a fiberglass Taiwanese hood of unknown quality.

      I would like a CF hood that has a near perfect fit (better than VIS).
      Does anyone make one?

        A near perfect fit is going to be hard to find with a CF hood. Your best bet is getting the VIS one and some evo hood sills.

          there is a link for some guy offering fiberglass and CF hoods from the company that make parts for GT racing (if that is true their stuff is top notch) i have used alot of GT racing's stuff on porsches...excellent quality. just go down toward the end of the post, get the name of the company and contact them directly for their product.

                Don't have anything to add about the mashaw hood, but here's another CF option for the e30.
