Default New JGTC Vented Carbon Fiber & Fiberglass Hood

We helped manufacture a new hood being produced by http://www.carbonfiberone.com

Its has fuctionable reverse louvers just like the hoods on the JGTC race Z's.

Prices are as follows:

*Carbon Fiber- $700

*Fiberglass- $625

If there is enough interest we will start up a group buy.

Here a pic of the prototype fiberglass hood.

Tell us what you think of it.

Were still building the JGTC syle hood it should be ready in a few weeks.

Were also have an option if you want it in kevlar colors.

Ive been in the import industry for 5 years and Im going to run it on my car.

Im picky about everything and It wont be a dissipointment.

The price is higher then our competitors but the quality is second to none.

The hoods are functionable, fitment is stock, and we use marine grade UV resins so it = no fading.

Also our stuff is made in the USA.

Good to hear Paul. Wondered where this post went. Pics on the car and closeup of the front fenders (L + R) and front bumper would be great to see the fitment.

Will this hood require hood pins or will this latch on just like th OEM hood? Also, what kind of additional hardware will come with this kit?

I will also take lots and lots of pics.

The JGTC hood will latch just like the oem hood.

Hood pins are not required but may be used as an extra safety pre-caution.
