Don at PDM-Racing (http://www.pdm-racing.com) has one. &nbsp;I know he doesn't sell things that aren't of some quality, but I don't know anywhere else for an s13 CF hood... <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'>

i think importfan has a CF hood for the s13. &nbsp;also, look around the group buy section, everyone seems to forget about the group guy section even though they have really good deals sometimes, check it out

Rudora and D-Speed makes Carbon Hoods for the 180SX. &nbsp;Price is 950.00 to $1200.00 depending on which one. &nbsp;Hood can handle up to 170mph without hood pins. &nbsp;Very good quality

[S13CRAVE]

damn! 1200 for a hood? &nbsp;thats a lot of money! &nbsp;i would rather just get a set of hood pins for 20 bucks and pay like 450 for a hood, lol. &nbsp;maybe thats just me.

[CoasTek240]

does anyone know where you can get a carbon fiber hood for the silvia s13 that's under $700?

guidot, I thought Don only sold fiberglass hoods.

CoasTek, there is a Groupbuy (http://www.zilvia.net/f/cgi-bin/ikonboard.cgi?act=ST;f=4;t=9300) on Sunny Carbon Fiber Hoods right now.

I personally have a $900.00 fiberglass hood for an S13. &nbsp;Once you've had the garbage hoods, you'll realize why these cost more. &nbsp;I thought I was lucky to get a carbon fiber hood for my S13 from TC, however about 2 weeks that the hood was on (that didn't fit properly), golf ball size dents started appearing everywhere, and more everyday. &nbsp;I quickly trashed the hood, and purchased my Cwest Hood. &nbsp;IMO, your vehicle is a big investment. &nbsp;Get the best quality you can, while you can. &nbsp;If you find a carbon hood for under $500.00 it is like most hoods we get from VIS or Hiper, and are crap. &nbsp;I see these hoods everyday come in and out of the shop for Honda's, and everyone experience's the same thing i did. &nbsp;Best to do it the right way first, and never worry about it again (which I tell customers when ordering the cheaper carbon fiber hoods). &nbsp;Otherwise you pay from $300.00 to $500.00 + $800.00 to $1200.00 for a good fitting quality hood.

Again this is my own opinion. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>

iirc www.i-m-racing.com has 'em for 500 bucks.

Just to add, we as 240SX owners are very lucky in the high quality products that are offered for our vehicles. &nbsp;Our cars are one of or if not the most popular cars in Japan. &nbsp;All the higher quality tuning companies cator to our vehicle. &nbsp;Unlike Honda's, we have access to a large Variety of great quality products from Japan.

People now are starting to realize that, and that is why many have sold their honda's in sport of the Nissan 240SX.

[240meowth]

well, the nissan is heating up, w/ their maxima pulling 255hp and their newly designed altima. &nbsp;also w/ the praises that were given on the sentra spec V, the nissan is going to be the next... import nonsense... as "drifitng" becomes popular we'll see a lot of 240sx's sold to people who don't know how to apperciate them.... sad... just my theory...
