Carbon Hoods

[PoorMans180SX]

Hey I've searched and searched and I can't find a nice Carbon hood with a vent or twin vents in the middle. I dont' like the VIS ones and I need a pretty big vent. I really don't want to have to fabricate one. I like the one on that gold RB26DETT powered 180SX drift car. If anyone can help me find a nice hood, please post pics and a link. I'll try to post pics later of what I'm talking about...

for 180sx popups with vents yashio factory hood is nice. koguchi power is hawt but its frp (dont know if they make it in cf). and theres also msport.

i was surfing raceonusa's site and theres a cf hood that looks like koguchi power style but made in cf. its made by dmax (a jdm company) but i have no idea how the quality is. but its over 1000 so it better be nice.

Do you have a S13/180SX/S14 Zenki/S14 Kouki/S15 front end?

Guessing you have a 180SX/S13 front end, but Andys Auto Sport makes a Razor hood which is on my car. Fiberglass or Carbon Fiber, mines double sided carbon fiber. Laid it up myself =)

what happens if it rains? lol

[Fat Felix]

ya.. how about rain?

[chmercer]

then your hood gets wet

cars dont blow up when you get water in the engine bay

[Ricks15]

No shit!!!!!

[lucky7]

no, it will definately blow up if it gets wet. just get an umbrella.

[rossfashow]

it wont mess up the wires. etc? water in the intake when driving?

[Dousan_PG]

when driving? air goes up and out
water wont get in
i have a vented hood too. after rains th etime ther eissome water is when im parked

if u look the nose of motor if visible. water drops on the radiator, clutch fan and fanshroud. there's no electrical things there.

allthe fuse boxes are to the side of the engine bay.

can we get a group buy going on CF hoods? ahaha later in the summer?

[rossfashow]

oo!!!! i want one but then i dont want to attract attention but they look bad ass. i wonder it it helps heat from the engine escape since heat rises keeping engine bay temps cooler....

[Dousan_PG]

vented hoods will lower engine temps for sure.
get a single reverse vented hood, like MSports for example. simple and eye pleasing.

[JDM_S14_Silvia]

what about the hoods made in the USA?

like from race-on-usa? or C-wings?

anyone have any experience with those brands? I am looking for a CF hood for my Kouki S14.. but dunno what to get, and I don't really feel like spending 1000 USD on a Yashio factory one, unless I win the lottery this weekend.

[chmercer]

raceon and cwings are all knockoff parts.

[FRpilot]

actually i think VIS is pretty good USA made stuff.. for cf hoods anyways.. but i heard they got bought out or out of business.. anyone know any truth to this?

[JDM_S14_Silvia]

raceon and cwings are all knockoff parts.

well, yea, but how is the quality like? Is it ok? or good? or "you get what you paid for" ?

[phreze]

Don't forget to check out d-drug/origin hoods.

[chmercer]

[Dousan_PG]
