best place to get a cf hood?

[Charlie97L]

well, i received my brand new OEM washer squirters from TONY! (thanks man) to replace the LED/ghetto/ricey chrome ones the previous owner had put on... so i go to put them on last night, and the F****R drilled out the squirter holes... :1zhelp: now there is no way the stock ones will fit, and they don't even cover up half the hole, ie. you can see through the hood with the stock ones on there.

sooo... i guess i'll buy a cf hood to go with my new squirters! anyone have any suggestions as which is the best one (brand/company to order from) to go with? anyone have one for sale? i would like the OEM look. thank you!

i love this forum, everyone is so nice, and it's got great info.

www.carbonfibrefx.com I'd say thats the best place to get one. Not sure if they offer holes for squirters tho'. But yea, CFX will be the easiest place to get one in the US that I know of.

they all should... if not, byebye squirters... this is gonna slow down my 1jz plans... boooo

Be weary of ebay or other carbon fiber hoods. Every one that I've seen aside from CFX has had ripples and valleys in the hood that make it look like crap. Spend the extra $50-100 and get a hood that fits as well as it looks

I thought CFX stopped making the CF hood...? I want one too... :1zhelp:

Duane still makes the hoods, they are awesome quality, they can be drilled to fit squirters or not, and they use the stock latching mechanisim. Oh, and they are an exact copy of the stock hood shape - at least on the top, I don't recall offhand whether the underside frame is exactly the same or not.

Can't get much better than that, folks.

I was at the SILV05 and saw the difference between CFX and others. Gladly to say that CFX has the better quality and it was the talk of the show. Holes for the w/w squirters are included if desire.

Damn that's awesome to hear! Thanks guys. I guess it was the COWL CFX hood that was discontinued, ah...
