Wil,
This is the first I've heard that EGT hoods fit our cars, maybe I'll shitcan this whole fiberglass hood project (it's growing out of control) and buy one. I've done some searching but can't find anyone selling them. Any ideas who's got 'em for sale?

A carbon fiber hood would look really good on a 1st gen protege or a 323 hatchback ... and also the 2nd gen protege's .. I don't see what the big argue is .. It's not rice. It is pure performance with a touch of show.. it's considered the best of both worlds ..
In any form or racing you want to lessen the amount of weight in the car .. The lighter the car the faster it is or quicker it is ..
Imagine you loose a 100 lbs and it takes a.1 second off of your 1/4 mile .. and you win the nats .. what would you have said if you lost by that same .1 seconds ....

It was part of some groupbuy over a year ago for the ERDT guys. DOubt they still make them. Good luck trying to find one.
And when the hell have cf hoods been considered "Rice"? Many fully built racecars have cf hoods...I guess they are a bunch of ricers?

That's what I thought. Once you take more steps to lighten the car, such as dropping useless plumbing, noise deadener, or interior, then I'm not gonna consider it rice. I would consider it a very important part to improving your performance.

Rob has carbon fiber hoods available for the 2nd gen scorts (91-96) they are the ones that will bolt onto your protege's. and for those of you more ricey than others they even come in multiple colors...

what are the escort years we can use again? 92-95 right?
I basically posted so you could see my sig pic. It's a regular non-CF hood, but it's an escort hood, and they're the same, so.....--edit (boy, i guess I was a little off in saying they were exactly the same...)
