Carbon Fiber SS Hood

Carbon Fiber SS Hood
Thinking about getting a carbon fiber SS hood and painting part of it leaving some carbon fiber showing. Could I get some pictures of what others have done with theirs and what brand you bought? Thanks in advance.

Thanks, but I was looking for some that have been painted to match there car with the scoop left unpainted. I work with a guy that has a Z06 and he has a carbon fiber hood that he painted and I like how it looks on his car but it is a different looking hood.

DG Motorsports specializes in Carbon Fiber. Says they are discontinued, but you might email them. It's not an SS hood. It's the same type of hood that was used on the '93 ZL1 concept Jon Moss played with before the car was converted to look '98-'02.

anyone ever see an entire car body made out of Carbon Fiber?? Now that would be sweet. I'm surprised lambo or Ferrari doesnt make one.
There is a Saudi Prince that has an Audi with a body made out of pure silver, not silver plated, PURE SILVER!!

The McLaren F1 was the first production road car to use a complete carbon fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP) monocoque chassis structure.

i have thought about doing something similar. i have a pewter 01 SS, and was thinking about getting a CF SS hood, then possibly doing something like putting the manta on it in pewter, leaving the rest CF. still won't be for a while, but just something i had thought of.

Interesting, as they're doing one for me as we speak. They did say that they haven't done one in three years.

I think DG probably makes good products. It's hard these days to find anybody who has any of their ground effects, hoods, or spoilers though. I'd be interested in finding out what you think of the final product!

So, don't know how long it will take, but once I get it I'll let you know what I think.

Haven't test fit it yet. Quality is good. Looks like it will bolt right up.

that hood is beautiful, i wouldn't paint it at all. Painting the front of the scoop red to match would be interesting but I would put it on the car and leave it naked for a few months before you really think about painting it at all.
