I'm looking into getting a C-West vented hood in FRP or CF and was wondering how the fitment was. Is it lighter than stock? Any pics?

Any vendor recomended for good pricing?

 

Jet - Try Gruppe-S. They have given me some significantly strong
pricing on C-west CF items as of late. I believe they are the US
distributor, or right next door thereto. If the hood is anything like
skirts and rears, I would imagine... perfection.

 

Be prepared for a wait. I've been waiting about 7 months so far......it's suppose to be on a container arriving in the US right now.......we'll see. Don't have my hopes up.

I ordered through Intense......no problems.

Edit: I have the CF version in route......

 

Crap... that's a very long time! Price?

 

Don't have my paperwork in front of me....but it was around $1,700.....I think???

Don't quote me on that.

Just get a quote from Darren to be sure of the amount.......

 

from what i saw on The Tech's ride, fiment was right on-

 

+1. For the most part, authentic JDM products have precise fitment. Check out my authentic ings+1 carbon hood. Fitment was perfect.

 

I agree, but it really has nothing to do with "JDM". It's more about construction and quality control, both of which Japanese manufactures have, but its certainly NOT limited to just them.

Always remember when it comes to any composites for your car (body kit, hoods, spoilers, etc), you ALWAYS get what you pay for....always.

BTW Andy, I just ordered myself an ING+1 hood for my DC5 last week !

 

I think I'm going to get the fiberglass hood since It's going to get painted. I hope the FG weighs less than the OE hood. I'm doing this hood for the venting. It gets crazy hot under my hood at the track with the 2 turbos in the FL heat.

 

im making my own carbon fiber hood, the ones online just arent acceptable.

 

^ lol, you need to look harder

 

Bought this Hood through OctaneMotorsports .. Came in a CWest box ?..took forever to get from overseas ..Had to dill bottomside framing, and fill between the framing with foam cause top hood was somewhat fexable and weak in spots ,, no one wanted to paint it and finnally found a custom car shop who coated it with fiberglass jell or something, and saved me somewhat of a lot of fustration ..Ect ...

 

+1 every JDM part I have ever purchased has been perfect, my C-West kit for example.

 

the frp one fits perfectly (I have it on my car) and is lighter than the stock hood by more than a few lbs

we have one available too
