Mike,
I am not a paint shop but I would have to think its negligible.

bhamg

I'd venture between 1-2 lbs including paint and clear coat but that's strictly a layman's guess.

dodger63

Ok! Please someone that's painting a good portion of this hood do the experiment for me

Faris63

I'm not painting mine Can't wait to get my hood

Dad's .. when will the hoods going to be ready for shipping ?

Dads Perf. LLC

I have the tracking number for the first hood coming to me. As soon as it gets here(this week) we will test fit it to make sure its what we want and then I'll release production. He said it will take 10-14 days to produce them, then ship them. Then its 3-4 weeks to get here sea freight. I will receive them all here in Florida and ship them to you. You should have them in 6-8 weeks at the most. I am trying to be conservative. If they get here sooner then I will let you know.

Thanks,
Keith

!!!!!!! I'm excited..

Keith,

For us living outside of the US, I assume it would be easier for us to have shipped direct from Stone Carbon to us individually than routed via the US. Is this the plan?

Dave,
I will ship all the hoods that are going outside the US direct from Stone Carbon. You are a good example. Thanks for the reminder!!

Here is what I have confirmed to date.
Anyone else want to order one with this group buy?
After this they will be regular price and the sea freight is about $350 each depending where its going.

Okay Guys,
Here's the finished product. The skys are gray here in Florida today so the pics aren't the greatest but it looks awesome!!!!!!!!!!

trapper

Oh boy....oh boy

It looks great. Does it have any flaws? Anything to change?

Can not wait!

Thank You Keith!

PetroC63

Holy sh_t!!!

That looks awesome.


The fitment looks perfect.


I can't wait.

obsidian05e55

Wow! That looks tough! Great job!

Dads Perf. LLC

Will not change a thing!! The fit and finish are VERY GOOD. Every carbon piece this large will have some imperfections but the weave is straight for those of us who have ADD problems.

The finish is very good and overall its an excellent piece!!

It even has the inserts for the hood struts for those that asked the question. It weighs 21 pounds!!

Here pics of the first hood on it's owners car. Howard and Cindy (HHughes) own a Mars Red C, and are the first to hit the roads with the new "Dads Performance Vented Hood". I believe he is getting some paint work done, but I'll let him fill us in on that part of the mod. The fit and finish of these hoods is great, and once again, only weighs in at 21#. For those who haven't done any hood changes yet, but have ordered one of these, the hood removal nad install couldn't be any easier. 30-45 min tops!!!!

PetroC63

Absolutely awesome!

Faris63

Wow ! I can't wait to get mine

I see in both cars the upper part of the grill is missing ! How is that ?

Maverick1975

Well spotted, good question!

Hood looks really good Keith, well done!

Dads Perf. LLC

Your stock piece goes back in place there. HHughes and myself don't run that piece because it blocks airflow. When we road race we notice a decrease in engine temperature without it and no one even notices it 99% of the time.

GHAZAN

Wow amazing, wish I could afford one right now.

LZH

Which piece exactly are you referring to ?

Dads Perf. LLC

The small trim piece that attaches to the underneath side of the front of the hood. Its the upper part of the grill.

SonnyakaPig

Just don't drop any of the screws or it's a trip to the dealership for a replacement screw. haha

Seriously, what a beautiful hood. I'm just speechless over here.

Oh, how much does the stock hood weigh? Total weight savings?

Dads Perf. LLC

Thank you for the compliment!

Stock hood weighed 53#.
Carbon Fiber weighed 21#.

Thats a 32# loss right off the nose!!

Maverick1975

So whoever installs hood needs to remove this trim piece form the stock hood and attach to carbon hood? Will the carbon hood come with mounting points already for the trim piece??

Dads Perf. LLC

Yes, its very easy. There are marked places where they will need to drill six very small holes into the underside of the hood and reinstall the six small screws. Very simple. The entire swap takes less than 45 minutes.
