carbon fiber hood

I just purchased and '05 which has slight dents, scratches and chips that have require the hood to be professionally fixed and painted or I replace the hood with a lighter carbon fiber hood. I would prefer to do the later but can not find a manufacturer. Any ideas?

Hey guys, sorry for the delay....

On of our dealers still has one sitting from about 4 months ago. Price on the hood is $1,500

If you guys wanted to get a small group buy together and pre order them, I can probably do it for $995. They will take around 6 weeks to make.

Only comes in black carbon fiber.

The minimum for a small group buy would be 4 and up.

By the way, the weight is about 14lbs.

What's the original weight? I assume is an exact replica and everything will fit to the new piece; right?

Going back to the color....will CF accept paint?

If I remember correctly, you are near Miami right? How about instalation if I go down there? Included?

JMC

PS: I'm past costumer and very interested in the hood and other pieces.

Neal don't want to shoot you down but I seen them as low as $599.00 but it don't by any means say that the quality is anywhere as good...

Add me to the group if the hood is basically a stock replacement and accepts all the bezels, latches and hinges the same.

Hi Guys, yes it is a stock replica. Stock is about 30lbs. It reuses everything, the latches and all.

How do we do this?
I can also bring the car down to you and skip the shipment cost. It can also serve as prototype to mold the CF difuser if you want (assuming there is no risk to the cars paint, etc)
