Why the hell would you want a carbon fiber hood? Our hoods are light as hell. Is it for looks?

 

11 pounds cf compared to 45+ metal???
peace

 

get the Ford Escort CF hood, it fits 1990-93, the 94s wont fit unless u do the older headlight and grille conversion. Just another Suggestion.

 

i believe i saw a guy with a CF hood about a year ago, but i haven't seen him since, so i can't verify if it was CF or just painted black (i was getting on the highway, so i didn't get a good look at it).

 

dude, i think that rx7_tunr is a ******* moron...cf isnt about rice, its about dropping weight...plus my hood is fucked up, so instead of paying a junk yard 200 bux for a hood, i was thinking of spendind a lil more to get something that will be of some performance value...use your ******* brain dude

 

First off, your too new to be runnin ur mouth already, and yes CF hoods are completely about ricing a car, every car in my town that has a cf hood also has ground effects, an aftermarket muffler, tinted windows and stickers (all you need for ricing a car)...

if u really want weight reduction, take ur hood off and paint ur engine, dont waste 200 on a hood...

Where does weight reduction get you, you lose 100 pounds and get .001 takin off of ur 1/4 mile time, unless your whole car is gunna be made of cf, or fiberglass, weight reduction aint worth it...

 

**** rice, who cares. honestly, CF hoods look good. your car should be a reflection of you, what you like, what your about, not whats "rice" or not. **** the naysayers and do what you like. Damn.

 

There are just better things you can get for your car. Why waste your money on a carbon fiber hood when you could spend that money on some headwork? You'll get a much better performance gain. Now if you already did most of what you can to add power, then do the carbon fiber hood. $200 is an outrageous price for a hood, try http://www.car-part.com

 

This is just putting on a carbon fiber hood, though. It's a start, but you might as well drop the interior if you're going to reduce weight.

 

what are the escort years we can use again? 92-95 right?
