    Please post pics of CF hoods here

    I was wanting to collect a few ideas for Carbon Fiber hoods.
    I'm especially interested in what the general concensus is of a Midnight Pearl car with a CF hood? look good or not?

    Are your headlights a one-off custom design? Do you have any pics from the front with the lights down? I like the hood being 1/2 and 1/2 paint / clear.

    This is my OEM CF hood painted only partially black that I used before I switched to a Taitec NSX-R style FRP hood.

    They are Marga Hills and they will look something like this when I am finished.

    Looks good as the darker color blends well with CF, IMO.

    Hey Randy,

    Who makes the OEM style CF hood? I know of a couple dealers but yours looks like it fits well.

    Richard,

    I purchased the hood from the Autobacs retail store back in January. They were trying different local manufacturers and selling them as an "Autobac OEM style" hood, so I couldn't tell you who made it. However, I have seen one example of a 2002+ CF OEM hood from VIS, and fit on it looked spot on.

    The lip looks similar to the one you were asking about before, I think it's made by I's Impact. VIS now makes a vented CF hood that looks very similar to the one pictured above. Thanks for the info Randy.
