Default more carbon fiber ws6 hoods (link)

I was under the impression that there was only like 2 carbon fiber ws6 hoods made and they were by rksport. maybe i'm a lil outdated. i dont have an extra 800 layin around otherwise i'd be all over this but here you go for someone who is in the market.

Pretty cool. Idk they don't look right to me. It would look cool though if you painted the hood to your car color and left carbon fiber stripes.

yea i want one for my 96 WS6. I want to leave the raised part unpainted like a bog fat racing stripe. And i wanted to continue it to the roof and deck. But no one makes a deck, or a b-pillar so if i do it ill have to lay strips of true carbon fiber and paint a clear coat over it. Or i could save myslef the trouble and do a pearl white racing stripe instead. This will be over gunmetal pearl. Can you find an Lt1 Ws6 hood in CF?

yea if i got it i would paint it and leave the raised scoops carbon fiber for that touch. im not a big carbon fiber guy but i think that'd be cool. my cars nbm so the dark color would make it subtle. and i think subtle touches are what makes a car. it looks good and when you get up to it close and notice the little things it really makes you go wow

Your right though it did take a bit more work that others. There were no issues with the structural dept though, its as strong as others I have worked with.

Agreed. Leaving CF blackbird would be sick as hell.
