Custom Carbon Fiber hood
Anyone know where I can get a custom carbon fiber hood? Want something like a ferrari 550 hood scoop and slits on the sides. Its time to get back to modding.

They're out there for our cars, but i havent seen them with hoodscoops and such. I'd be interested to see how it looks, my hood needs to be repainted and it would be interesting to see CF on a black car. Anyone got pics?

There is a group buy going on for E55 c/f hood for only about 850+shipping. We dont have to get the black c/f, he can make silver c/f for an extra $99. So for a little over a grand (if we get enough people) we can get custom c/f hoods done. I think this would look SICK! I have already started talking to people to see if I can get something made for the W208.

Anyone that sells you anything made out of "silver" carbon fiber or any color other than black doesn't know what they are selling or are not telling you the truth.
You can have carbon fiber in any color as long as it is BLACK.
Any other color is either dyed fiber glass cloth or kevlar.

This hood is just for looks, I've given up on perfrormance which is why I have decided to go strictly for looks. I have been offered sponsorship and am considering showing my car.I am 100% sure there is silver carbon fiber. They just use silver thread instead of black. Its not that difficult. You can pretty much make any color you want.

Regarding the hood - sounds really rice.

You are talking about a weave. Carbon fiber (strand) because of how it is made can only be black, no ifs ands or buts!
There are very few carbon fiber strand manufacturers, but lots of weavers.
What they do is weave carbon fiber strand with some other fiber to give it color so what you saw was not 100% carbon fiber weave but a silver weave that contains carbon fiber.

Guys, he is right, during the oxidation process of the manufacturing, the carbon fiber goes from white to black.
"Quite quickly they turn to black and carbon fiber is like the Ford T, As Henry said "Its any color you want, as long as it's black"

Your info comes from some guy showing you what he claimed to be silver carbon fiber.
I made parts out of carbon fiber (industrial applications). Went to two factories that make carbon fiber strand. Talked with the engineers that make the stuff. Went to several carbon fiber weaving companies.
I guess you know more about this stuff.
