Carbon Hood Modification
New mood for my carbon hood.
As many of you know, I did this same mod on my steel hood some time ago.
Only difference now is that the carbon hood is about 40lbs lighter!

Re: Carbon Hood Modification
Looks impressive!
That is some good fabrication work.
It's hardly noticable, but it appears to be 2 sheets of CF fiber going over the width of the hood.
Also looks plenty thick at about 1/4".
What does the inside of the hood look like?

Re: Carbon Hood Modification
That looks great!!! Make sure to post a pic on the car. I have thought about going carbon fiber with mine, and using the blisters on it... maybe even functional style
