I am interesed in knowing how many of you out there would like to get a CF hood, the skin only, this means you would have to use hood pins to hold it down or or add your own latch and hindges to it. Please dont ask for pic because I dont have any yet. I am tryng to get this co. I know to make it for us. I am not sure what the cost will be but I am pretty sure we can work something out if I can get enought people interesed. He is willing to make different style like w/ or w/o scoop or vents. It wil be a few weeks before I know if I have enought people to do it so please bare with me.



Thanks Kimo

Get him to make a replica of the Border hood. I would definetly be intrested as long as the fit was like stock. I don't think it is worth a couple of hundred for a hood that looks the same as stock though cause my car is white and I would paint it. (can't stand a carbon hood on a white car).

kimo3 05-20-2002 08:37 PM

I am not sure what he is willing to do, I will ask when I get enough people on board.

thanks kimo

i like the idea of a cf hood (painted of course). what does the border hood look like.

i think vents would be cool. just little vents above where the airintake is and on the opposite side, for balance. but nothing that would mess up the beautful lines of the car.

I was thinking about haveing this one made. opions please

Rotaryman88 05-21-2002 03:02 PM

Thats a stock T2 hood...it has the RE amemiya front end(which I'm getting for my SE-X)...the hood itself has no difference in it over stock...the vents in front are part of the body kit...still a nice look though.

Seppuku 05-21-2002 03:20 PM

yeah if you look close enough you can see that the vents are in the front bumper. hey rotaryman88 how much does that front bumber cost?

kimo3 05-21-2002 04:09 PM

the vents are in the light houseing not in the bumper. The bumper itself is around $2500. I am just talking about the hood. ypou can have vents put in anywhere you like.

That Border hood seems a bit ricey to me, but im sure enough people like them if they sell them right?

1Revvin7 05-21-2002 07:40 PM

i would be interest if i had alot of vents. Like the orange Supra in your favorite movie, Slow and Humble. That would be nice.

stupid me i meant to say that. I was in a rush because im not supposed to be online and i just put front bumber for some stupid reason. Oh well i fucked up what else is new. i kinda like the hood on the border kit but the rest is a little much

Infini IV 05-22-2002 01:36 AM

Aren't vents in hoods supposed to be directly after the radiator? I agree that Border is a little ricey... It vents a little further back.

kimo3 05-22-2002 02:31 PM

NO the boarder hood is correct. The vent is used to draw hot air away from the engine, I am still tying to find out who would like a CF HOOD PLEASE LET ME KNOW ASAP.

Rob x-7 05-29-2002 07:57 PM

Since it doesnt seem like no one is answering, I do not want a hood https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683785.gif

kimo3 05-30-2002 01:30 PM

First off not sure on the price yet I am still trying to find out how many want one, the price will be set after that. as far as looks goes not sure yet, I am going to see if they can make it with and with out a hood scoop. I will cal them monday to see what a time frame may be. I will post more after that. But I know I will need at least 20 total people to get this done. so if you know anyone please ask them so we can get it done.



Thanks
