You may get a guy over in the c5 section to do a overlay on a hood for you. But never seen no one doing 100% C.F. c2 hoods... If you did you may be looking at around 2,k plus.... Robert

To lose weight on the front end, which is probably the opposite of what you want if you plan on going fast.

We can do a Carbon fiber Hydrographic dip if you just want the carbon fiber look. had a guy bring us a real Carbon fiber and he wanted a different look so we dipped it for him, dont make sense but we did.

Put the www. and your site in here and more people will look at it may get more business that way.... How much for a hood being done like that also do you stand behind it if the coating come off down the road from the sun are heat from under the hood. Robert

I am changing my hood from stock to a big block hood anyway. I can buy fiberglass just not Carbon Fiber.
My thoughts were that since the car was black anyway i would leave it as the carbon fiber. I don't like the carbon fiber "look", i like the real thing. Its more for weight savings and the coolness of having an actual carbon fiber hood.
From what i have seen it looks like i will just be purchasing a fiberglass hood and painting it.

Actually, putting a www in front of an Non Supporting vendor link or a phone number, etc, will get the post deleted:

https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...ate-links.html

and:

http://forums.corvetteforum.com/foru...l-posting.html

Supporting vendors pay for the considerable bandwidth charges on the Forum, making it free for the rest of us. In exchange, they get the privilege of using the Forum to market and promote their goods and services. Historically, we allow them to post in the generation sections and the regional sections to market and promote their products/services.

Members are not prohibited from mentioning it when they have a good (or bad, for that matter) experience with a non-supporting vendor. But such mentions cannot be so specific (address, phone number, e-mail address, URL, price, part number, offer to send contact information via PMs, etc.) or so frequent that they become marketing and promotional references.
