Carbon Fiber Hoods

Wasn't someone making these awhile back? I checked the search engine and nothing popped up.

Nothing would pop up because all the information from the previous forum is gone.

But here is what I dug up:

customcargrills was making them but didnt really get a lot of orders, so he stopped making them

they are no longer being made. but customcar grilles could hook you up with his C/F guy probably if you really wanted one.

11-19-2003, 10:38 PM

hmm carbon fiber hoods,,,,,wonder what justice that would do to the alero

^^^^ummm, lighten the car by about 30 to 40 lbs on the front end. Adding to better cornering and slightly quicker et's on the track.

plus they are more durable than standard hoods, and give a better look

yiddish has one

11-20-2003, 09:19 PM

yes i do. i'll re post my pictures when i get some time. Actually, matt(3.4alero) has some pretty good pics of it from when we were auto-xing.

I gotta pic of a guy standing ona small piece of carbon fibre piece to...strong stuff

11-22-2003, 03:49 PM

^^^depends on how good the carbon fiber is. Most of those hoods they sell for Hondas are just cheap look alikes. What do yo expect when you can buy one for like $300?

I got a hold of customcargrills' carbon fiber guy months ago. I can't remember for sure but I think he quoted me $850.00. But you have to mount hood pins.

i still stick to my philosophy on c/f hoods

about $600-800 bucks to save 30lbs off teh front end?!?!?!

U can do that by eating at subway fora couplea months, and save a buncha cash :thumbsup:

the weight loos is good but would be better with other light weight items rather than alone.

AlbinoMonkeyRat · 11-30-2003, 04:30 PM

LOL @ Ski! Good point!

Might I add that AleroGreatOne has an awesome avatar!
