Don't know if anyone is making them yet besides custom one-offs.

Fabricator is not a sponsor and if he wants to be all he has to do is email us.

www.vfnfiberglass.com can do CF pm "vfntech" and ask them.

What type of cf are you interested in?
Are you looking for a paintable type - for weight savings?
or are you looking for a "cosmetic type" where the carbon fiber weave will show thru?
What style hood are you interested in?

I would be interested in a SS hood that the scoop stays unpainted showing the CF and the rest of the hood would be painted.

Hi Guys.
I am listing a small section of prices for hoods in both glass and cf. The cf prices are for the "weight savings" style, if you're interested in the "cosmetic or see thru" style, please let me know what car and style hood you are interested in and I can quote you price and availability.
Our items are generally made upon order, currently our production time is about 4-5 weeks from the date of order before shipping.
Here is the list:

Stock style hood (93-97 and 98 and newer Camaro / Firebirds)
non hinged (pin down) glass $255.00 cf $574.00
hinged (will accept hinges, struts and front latch) glass $355.00 cf $799.00

2" cowl induction hood (93-97 and 98 and newer Camaros)
non hinged glass $270.00 cf $608.00
hinged glass $385.00 cf $866.00

4" cowl induction hood (93-97 and 98 and newer Camaro)
non hinged glass $290.00 cf $653.00
hinged glass $440.00 cf $990.00

3" SS style Hoods (93-97 and 98 and newer Camaros)
non hinged glass $480.00 cf $1080.00
hinged glass $575.00 cf $1294.00

5" extended pin on hood (mike moran style) - 98 and newer Camaro
glass $315.00 cf $709.00

5" extended pin on Ram Air style - 93-97 Firebirds
glass $325.00 cf $731.00

4" raised ram air style (93-97 Firebirds)
non hinged glass $385.00 cf $866.00
hinged glass $480.00 cf $1080.00

4" Raised ram air style (98 and newer Firebirds)
non hinged glass $350.00 cf $988.00
hinged glass $480.00 cf $1080.00

5" WS6 extended pin on hood (98 and newer Firebirds)
glass $490.00 cf $1103.00

Stock size WS6 Hoods (98 and newer Firebirds)
non hinged glass $350.00 cf $988.00
hinged glass $480.00 cf $1080.00

4" raised WS6 style Hoods (98 and newer Firebirds)
non hinged glass $480.00 cf $1080.00
hinged glass $575.00 cf $1294.00

RobZWicked - we can do the see thru scoop for the SS style hood. The price would be the same as listed above.
Thanks.

What exactly would the " 4" WS-6 Style" Look like. Any pics (carbon fiber or glass, I just want to see what it looks like)

Also, how much for a "Cosmetic Style, Hinged, C.F."???

I didn't see any prices for the cosmetic style.

Thanks,
Taco
