Does anyone know of a company that makes carbon fiber hoods for the Crossfire Coupe??

 

In a word.......no.

 

Lots of talk of CF and Fiberglass hoods.........but nobody's ever come through.

 

Well who all wants one?! Maybe if we get alot of people to commit to a CF hood... Seibon or some company would be convinced :P

 

Yea! I remember that let down well! Damn! ...... Squirrel Crusher

 

I would def be on board if you can get someone to make one, I would think there would be many other members interested as well if we could get a decent price.

 

If it was going to be done the company in question would need a hood first of all to make copies then funding. Coming up with the hood may be more tricky then the funding also there would be the question of looks, I would probably say to keep it simple a flat no lines hood. After the mold was finished it would open up (if they sold well) possible other looks vented etc.

 

I would like to have carbon fiber wing. Any info it ?

 

i might be intrested if the price is right but i think we should have an option with a hoodscoop or some sort of vent versus just a plain jane hood. the stock one looks better in my opinion from a plain hood yeah we get weight savings but we need some design as well it is a crossfire not a civic

 

Just a refresher course on hood manufacturing 101.
Not even a year ago, a young forum member named "Sarge" decided that he wanted a duplicate of my scooped hood. I told him the best way that I thought he could go about building one, and that was to use fiberglass.
He did his research, and located a very well known company (AAR) a fiberglass hood manufacturer located in Florida that seemed very rerceptive to the idea.
All they needed was a "stock" Crossfire hood to modify to build a duplicate of my hood. Then only 10 actual customers would have to come up with the cash for them to produce the first batch.
The price was going to be $600.00 for the hood, $50.00 packaging it. and $200.00 shipping. All very reasonable when you consider what a brand new Crossfire hood sells for.
We had at least 10 people that wanted a hood originally, but as soon as the price was announced, most people just couldn't commit at the time. And that's pretty much as far as mass hood creation has gone with the Crossfire.
Personally I would like to see a quality "stock" Crossfire hood built by AAR in fiberglass, that would lend itself to all sorts of different, and imaginative creations. Many Crossfire owners have their very own ideas on just what sort of hood they would like to see on their cars.
I would think a "stock" fiberglass hood could also be used as a template, or mold to build a Carbon fiber hood as well.

 

I agree hard thing will be gettting the stock hood to them and getting the mold done. Once that's done it will open other doors.

 

man.. for the ones that comitted a while back for a hood.. you would think they would know the price for one?! Im going to talk to a shop that has connections with seibon and see what strings they could pull as for letting them see a stock model I think it would be worth driving to them for it

 

Good luck with getting the hood made.
I'm sure that if you can get it done there will be a lot of interest here.
As mentioned before others tried and nothing ever materialized.

Hey, you're new here.

 

yes I'm new haha thanks Tighed1 !!

 

You guys can use my hood. Think it will work?



That sh*t'll buff right out, son!

 

It might take awhile, but I'd be willing bet "Moparrbust" could work those "kinks" out.

 

Can't use your hood, but it looks like your CAI may have survived, any chance that may end up for sale???

 

I think I got the hood figured out! Friend of a friend owns a carbon fiber company said I might get it for free ) If and once i get it I will deff take pics and show everyone and y'all can go from there!
