Got the new hood installed today. Not sure if I'm gonna paint it or leave it. The C/F is great quality and its a 40# savings right off the nose!! I highly recommend this hood for anyone that races and wants a weight savings. Great for road racing and drag racing!!

That looks good on your ride, congrats on the mod

Nice choice to lighten the hood. I just don't understand Mercedes? They put on aluminum fenders but a sheetmetal hood??? I wished that your CF hood has heat extracting vents.

Who makes the hood? Does it have the noise insulation too, that might dissipate the heat better if it's without?

That is the most sinister, evil looking C63 I've seen... with some potent dyno- and track-proven power to back it up. If it was coming up behind me, I'd get the heck outta the way quickly... lol.

That hood looks nice--would look even better on my black car

+1 That looks very very Evil

Sorry, but i wonder why if the hood was not on YOUR C63.... Dad the other people would get flamed by comments like

V-Tec Just kicked in yo

or

This aint a Civic

But just because it was you... they dont flame you

But we understand your standpoint is because for weight saving

and not for the looks like any other Civic out there...

so

Grats and Cheers!

wow.. 40pounds! so the hood is not aluminum..

C63newdude

Is this a Seibon, a VIS or what is it? Looks good. I was hoping for some ventilation but I guess the 40lbs savings will do it.

Nice looking hood! I need this for sure.

Where did you get this and how much was it?

Good to see someone finally made a CF hood. I've replaced many stock hoods and they are HEAVY steel suckers that should've been aluminum from the factory. If it was mine I would paint it body color and say it was a stock steel hood.

You think they make that hood for clk500??

garybc230

That is one bad *** looking hood, together with the color of your car looks smokin!

riarm

Hey DADs who makes this hood??

BAD430BENZ

they have these hoods on ebay for about $1500 . i wonder where he got his ?

Dads C63

Thanks for the comments. It was on in less than 1/2 hour with absolutely NO issues.

We are trying to find a way to add louvers. May have to paint it if we add louvers so not sure.

The hood did come from ebay. Its the Smartplus Auto Parts Ltd. in Hong kong. Ordered it last week and it arrived yesterday. Right at one week delivery which was awesome. The fit and finish are great! I highly recommend it!!

Do u have any weight specs. And how much weight are u at rite now with the rotors and hood?

hhughes1

Man, you change your avatar so fast it makes my head spin. FYI still without a cell phone till later today then you can fill me in on the details. Would love to see it in person.

MB_Forever

The hood looks really good.... how much was it?

benscott01

Car weighed 3840# before hood, and hood is (-)40#'s so should be close to 3800 even.

mthis

3840 is that with gas or no gas in the car also with out driver or with.
Sry for the q's I'm just tring to see how much he shaved off by doing the hood and rotors

benscott01

Gas, I don't remember, but no driver for sure.

paint it

kevinpuri

Looks great!
paint it but leave a fade strip across the top about 4 inches so the carbon is still visible

...only negative is you lose the highly engineered crumple zones.
