carbon fiber hood and trunk

[StreetracerJay]

I am looking for a carbon fiber hood and trunk. I found a whole bunch of places that sell the carbon fiber hoods like houseofscion.com but what I was wondering if anyones know where I can get a good price (around $600) for a carbon fiber trunk. The carbon fiber trunks are hard to find. Anyone knows any webs sights that sell the c/f trunks or the company that makes them? thanks.

Check with Seibon...they make CF parts --good ones. I know they don't have a CF trunk right now but could be able to make one for you....

I'm not a fan of the C/F look... It looks like you tried too hard... No offense to anyone who has the C/F. I'm more into the 'looks stock, but it is what is under the hood that counts' look.

True, but no better way to put ur car on a diet then to shove some carbon fiber down its throat, www.racingsolution.com sells CF hoods, trunks, lips, etc. for the tC at reasonable prices!

For me, i hate showing carbon fibre. When i lift my hood, you can see its carbon, past that PAINT IT (thats if i decide to get one). As for the CF trunk, be VERY wery how it seals. I know a few people that have a CF trunk and it never seems to seal properly.

I'm going Time Attack so CF all the way.

i love the look of CF when done tastefully, as for not sealing properly, just dont buy from ebay, Racing Solution, seibon, and other reputable places, im sure will guarantee their product! CF all the way!!

What about VIS? They have a new hood style that just might what I am looking for?

[StreetracerJay]

What style from VIS are you taking about? I want to see what looks good and what doesnt.

[navylife59]

The new EVO style. I wanted to know about quality and fitment issues. Waiting for VIS to respond with info on the underskeleton and mandatory use of hood pins.

A true CF hood, your a fool if you run it without a hoodpin. Only way i would even THINK of no hoodpin, is if TRD themselves put a CF hood on the market and said it does not need pins, even then id still be shaky bout it

I've had my CF hood on my car for 2 years without any problems... If its not made of junk, it will be sturdy enough and not break.

Who made it? The VIS unit is offshore made (china).

I plan on actually racing my car on a real course, so definately will have hood pins. For everyday driving a properly made hood should not need pins. Also, a CF hood that is advertised as not requiring pins is most likely not going to be flimsy.
