Opinion on a CF hood

Hey SexyCross06, please don't forget to tell your friend making the carbon fiber hood that there may be others here at the forum that want one. After all, parts are hard to find and so is a part maker. Hope to see pictures of your car soon, good luck!
Ouch SilverFox... that's actually my interior. Check my gallery
OMG Drool… I’m almost afraid to ask how much of that you did yourself!
And dont' even get me started on the half assed pices of s*** driving around in gtown.

Irwin, it's called criticism. I haven't flip flopped on my opinion. I think 20s are too big and I think the CF hood and pink trim is gaudy. Dude, I don't care who's car it is, male, female, whatever. It's no big deal Man. I'm sure some people love your car, others probably hate it. I actually like your interior. Yeah, we all bust on eachother from time to time, but that's why it is a forum. It's basically just a bunch of car people wasting their time on the internet. The forums do however provide outstanding information for all types of issues. I take all the B.S. with a grain of salt. Just laugh it off. It's like a bunch of buddies sitting around ribbing eachother. Chill Devil, chill!

Oh and I will deffinately tell my friend others may be interested in a carbon fiber hood. As soon as I get picS I will post them and if you like what you see I will give you all the information you will need to get in contact with him.

No doubt your car made for a nice daily driver. I'll bet you stunned some male drivers at stop lights....lol
And, when the males on the board get around to checking out your Gallery photos, I anticipate a whole new level of interest in what you have to say.

I've just quickly scanned through this thread (and like most it wanders onto other stuff)...
Briefly, you should just be able to make/take a 'splash' of your current hood (show/customer side), out of fiberglass or similar (preferably something that does not shrink too much). Once you have that you have the mold for the outside of the hood - strakes and all. Then you lay your CF into that. One shot tool. You obviously have to trim the hood after that, finish up the raw edges etc, mount bracketry on the underside so you can attach it - unless you're going with pins etc. for an even lighter hood.
