Default Leslie....

I'm looking for someone by the name of Leslie. I've heard about her through people I've spoke with. I'm looking for pictures of here Motor City Mold carbon fiber insert hood.

That would be her. When she had her hood painted, she left part of the carbon fiber showing in the center. It looks very nice IMO.

the hood is a carbon fiber composite. what you see on the hood is actually a strip of CF that they apply like an aplique on the hood, then clear coat the entire surface so you can't tell it was added to the hood.

very nice work. I have seen Leslie's several times as well as Ken king of Vette Essentials who has one also.

I want one, but I have a few performance mods to come first. If you get the CF patch on the hood, it's an extra $300, so you are dropping ~$1850 BEFORE you get it painted. It's the absolute best aftermarket hood out there IMO. Absolutely no fitting required. bolts on exactly like factory....

Leslie is "levettegirl" on this forum. send her a PM. She loves showing off her car as well she should-it's got the mojo goin' that's for sure
