Re: Gathering interest on bolt-on CF WS6 hood... John the few that I've gotten (CIVICS) were beautiful.
ALL CF and had bracing plus a latch built into them
$350 is a great price,I'm in for sure...
I can take 30lbs off the nose of my car and still sell my Factory hood all day long for 500 to a guy who had a pewter t/a.

Re: Gathering interest on bolt-on CF WS6 hood... The hood is fully carbon fiber. WS6 only, no regular TA, no SS. There are no pics of this hood yet as I have to have 10 people sign up to get this pricing. Red TA makes 6!

Re: Gathering interest on bolt-on CF WS6 hood... Carbon fiber is definitely paintable. Furthermore, I believe the hood should be clearcoated to protect the resin.

How streetable are these hoods? One time I saw a ricers CF hood fly off on the highway at high speeds. I think it was a bolt on to.

Re: Gathering interest on bolt-on CF WS6 hood... This may be a stupid question, but when you paint a CF hood, will it look the same as a metal or fiberglass hood after being painted or will it have a hint of that textured pattern that CF has?
