Fiberglass/carbon fiber hood
Where is a good source? I haven't looked anywhere yet ( 'cause this site is always my first stop). I want bolt on, so there will be no pins showing. Also, not sure I want to stay with the stock style----kinda thinking about a low 1"-2" cowl to clearence the uppipe/dog house and vent some heat. I'm going to jump on eBay shortly and start poking around. Thanks for any tips!

I got mine from Poston's about 3 years ago, along with the glass bumpers, header panel and aluminum bumper supports, but from what I have seen on TB.com I wouldn't get it from them now....It's too bad they turned out that way, I had gotten pretty good service out of them then.
I thought Year One had glass and carbon fiber hoods but I just looked and they only have a "Glasstek" style glass hood for around $400.00. http://www.yearone.com/serverfiles/f...ain2.asp?cat=B

What are Glasstek hoods?

I had bought a couple of hoods from them for my Grand Prix when I had it. Bolt on's. They were a nice quality hood. I would have bought the hood and bumpers from them for the GN, but I figured to give the money to a Buick vendor. At that time there weren't any red flags up about Poston so I got it from them.

Any luck?
Brian, did you ever find anything? I was doing some searches, but didn't come up with any carbon fiber hoods?

Glasstek makes a caron fiber hood but it is laid over fiberglass....and its $750
Im sure we could find 100% carbon fiber parts if a few committed,figure pricing will be around $800-$1000.Im in for a hood and decklid... Some one get a group buy together! ________ group Webcam Last edited by broke1; 08-15-2011 at 10:58 PM. |

Seems our choices for hoods are limited. I wanted a cowl style hood with only a 1" cowl hight, but there is no such animal. Kirban appears to have the best pricing on glass hoods, but he doesn't have what I need. At this point, im going to forget the hood, and do a Baer 4 wheel disc brake install.
