    CARBON FIBER HOOD INSERTS....20 Buyers needed!

    I have a quote from...

    http://www.advancespeedshop.com/exte...FRFWagodPEZwRw


    Carbon fiber Hood Insert...manufactured by Seibon.

    I will send them an insert , they make a mold and do a run of 20.

    Cost...approx $330 per....very competitive with OEM metal price.


    Payment up front will be required...to cover my butt!

    Please indicate via poll if SERIOUSLY interested.

    Absolutely the best $20 you'll spend per year on your VX.

    It'd be nice to lose some of that weight, but you'd have to paint it pretty quick...Fla. (most sunny places) is hell on that clear.

    First off, I am with LittleBeast, and also, the OEM hood insert is not made of metal, the whole thing is fiberglass. I just removed mine and it is not heavy at all.

    My original cracked a little on that seam. I got the replacement under warranty...I just had to hand them the old one. Bart's right...it didn't weigh much.It has a sort of contact paper finish.

    Voted YES, but only MINUS a scoop or with some sort of extraction.

    Scoop + VX = worthless

    I'd be down if it has a heat extractor. something like the evoIX hood.

    But again, it would be hard to get 20 people to buy into the same design.

    Are you serious about Seibon!? They make some pretty high quality C/F hoods and stuff...

    wow...seibon! im impressed....(thats what i was looking at for my TEG...but i ended up getting a VIS one because of the price difference, but its still a quality company)

    i dont think i would be willing to spend that much on a visual mod....personally...
