What's happening with the old hood?

going bye bye I'm guessing. the gelcoat died and it got all faded-like

^ Yep!! Getting rid of that DGM piece of crap. I really liked their products at first but now that I've had them installed for over a year I see how garbage they are, while being WAY TOO OVERPRICED at the same time.

Well off I go fellas. Wish me luck, and I'll post pics of the new hood tomorrow

rofl nice, if you keep your tools in the car you can be a transformer

suck....Well maybe someone can use it if they full-paint it??

drive safe!

overpriced? they're one of the cheaper ones I thought. The ones from CrazyCaker (dunno if that's his name on the other forum but it is on toprotege).. I think they're xcelerated concepts or something like that.. he (Joe/CrazyCaker) gets them clearcoated so that they don't have that issue.

But if you really want quality CF parts for our cars, there is NO other company close to Fiber Images.

yes indeed. fully painted CF hoods are FOR THE WIN anyhow (I'm not biased)

I sold my old CF hood to Tom (of Doc B Motorsports)

hehe there's my old hood!

demoniam

that hood is the sexxy. you had the actual evo inserts/drain installed too, right?


---What'd you do to **** off Mazdas247, btw... I was starting to miss your posts!

_Kansei_

that's the APC hood.. and it doesn't come with any vent inserts.. Tom installed those after he bought the hood from me.

my hood right now is a fiber images evo hood though.. with authentic mitsubishi vent and everything.



Krayzie we expect lots of pictures of the new hood as soon as you get back!!

secure the hood with some rope or fasteners ... i don't wanna think what would happen if you need to make a sudden stop, let alone crash... your are ridding with a guillotine on your back seat :s

Way to go mr 'voice of reason' :P

VERY good point

I've carried hoods in my car 4 or 5 times.. on 4+ hour journeys.. and the thought never even crossed my mind to secure them haha

Haha .. TOO LATE!! The trip's already done and over with and I've made it back alive. I did think of that myself though, so I moved up both the front seats and just wedged the hood behind the headrests. It didn't move at all, but I did have a very uncomfortable grandma-style-hugging-the-steering ride back home. All in all, it wasn't to bad and I actually like the hood a lot more than I thought I would. Here are some piccys for you all..

And before anyone comments on the left being lifted a bit too much .. I know
I need to go out there and mess with the little rubber stop majiggys to make both sides even.

You rang?

Looks nice Krayzie. I think that's the first time I've seen your car from the side. Digging the yellow/black theme!

_Kansei_

^^ kinda like how I've only seen your car from the angle in your sig.. you could totally have a CF hatch and I wouldn't even know lol

I'm shy about my naked lady mudflaps.
