I was thinking of going with a carbon fiber hood and front lip and wanted to get some recommendations on manufactures. I was looking at the JDP lip because in all honesty that was the only one i have found. For the i hood i was thinking VIS, but i am not sure.
I paid about $490 to get it shipped to my door from Aerotrends. They claim that their hoods are “VIS Spec”, but I’ve seen VIS hoods on g2’s and even they don’t fit as well. Asside from the clearcoat needing to be polished (I didn’t put a good coat of wax on it soon enough), the hood is holding up great. It doesn’t have provisions for your washers, but I fixed that with a little double-sided tape. I’ve heard nothing from/about JDP’s products, but I’m sure there’s a few reviews on them somewhere in the archives.
anyone remember the OG sunnystyling carbon fiber hood with the black border? we’re talking '97 '98 here most of the noobs would have still been in grade school.
I got the hood like 3 years ago. Fiber images fits like a glove from what i seen. or maybe that was just back in the day. I have had no problems no fading or anything.
So, my stock hood is pretty dinged up… where’s a good place to look for CF hoods? I’ve found one place, but they’re saying the shipping weight is 150lbs! is that right?! :wtf:
Long long story. Shipping weight is because it becomes deminsional weight. length x width x height. 164? /60x60x5. Its over the oversize 3 size, which makes it a freight item. We are just trying to make sure that the shipping rate comes out high enough, Becuase it is VERY EXPENSIVE (as many of you know) to ship a hood.
