Aftermarket hood
 
Hello all.
Any suggestions on some good websites to find aftermarket hoods?

I don't need to go all out with carbon fiber or anything like that, I'm just looking for one that's different then the plain stock.
I have an autopac claim so I thought I'd go a little different.

Thanks

Why not just get a hood scoop? Or you are you totally set on a new hood?

I got hail damage so my insurance is replacing the hood no matter what so I thought I might as well get something a little different.
So I thought I'd see what kind of options are out there.

Thanks

Your only gonna find a non-OEM style hood in carbon fiber... prices range from $350-$1500. If you get a cheaper one, I recommned sanding it down to the fiber and re-clearing the hood with a quality clear coat a few times to insure it doesn't peel and fade within a year.

A CF hood for $350?! Must be complete crap, a CF hatch for an R/C boat cost $200 plus...

Car parts and R/C parts are not comparable whatsoever. You'll always get more for your money with car parts, and yes plenty of $350 carbon fiber hoods that fit okay.

Seibon OEM CF hood for a 99 4dr is $463
VIS Racing OEM CF hood for 99 4dr is only $570


CF upper chassis for my truck: $40
CF shock tower (ea.): $20

You must be getting ripped off on your boat.
