Would anyone happen to know where I might find fibre glass hoods for the S13? Specifically the Coupe (pop-up lights)??

I found one from Erebuni, but yeah...... I don't need to explain that one.

Thanks.

700 plus shipping(truck freight can be money for a hood)

you're better off getting one custom made or buying c/f. find a local guy who will do it for you

Funny guys!!

I was putting up the "pop-up lights" thing because I didn't know if Nissan did something stupid like make 2 different hoods for the coupe and the hatch. lol.

Anyhow, its not for my car. If for a race car that I've been posting about lately. We obviously wanted a lighter hood, but Carbon fibre was out of the question because it would be a bitch to repair/replace/fix if it was damaged when racing (road course). Fibre glass ones would be far easier to fix. We have a body shop, but just buying one would be WAY easier and less time consuming, but of course more expensive.

Anyhow, anyone? lol. I'll search when I get off school. If your bored and feel like posting, feel free lol.

any carbon fiber hood in the USA... =fiberglass... nuff said.

I really wish I didnt trash my cf hood when it popped up on me,, the hinge area broke pretty bad, but I probably coulda saved it by fiberglassing it.... instead it just found love in a dumpster and i drove home hoodless... first time i ever really felt bad about my car...

if its for road racing, just cut the bracing out of the underneath. It will cut weight by 70% and be about the same weight as a VIS hood.
