Hey, I need a replacement for my hood, its dented and rusty and everything and is not worht rescuing, so I need a new one.
I want a hood that can be painted to the same color as my car, I am not sure if CF can be painted?
Are there any other hood’s that I can buy and later paint to match?
Thanks,
Yuriy
You could always buy an aluminum hood or a CF hood. They can both be painted over. If you’re going to paint over it, might as well get an aluminum one (depending on availability) so you dont have to pay for the shiny finish.
do they make a stock style fiberglass hood?
Ya, OEM carbon fiber hoods are on ebay, and I think I saw a fiber glass one too…no aluminiums though, what site should I look at?
you could probaly get a body shop to reskin your original hood in aluminum… pull the steel off
No, I am looking to buy a new one.
Just buy a cheap CF hood that has cosmetic defects. They just sand the hood so the paint will stick to the epoxy anyways.
i agree with oki on that one… u can buy a CF hood that the clearcoat is peeling cheap… sand and paint it
