CF hood for 97/98!!!!!
Hi all,
Ive been in contact with a company based out of Calgary, Alberta, Canada called iON Performance in regards to a carbon fibre hood for the 97/8 Protege. Here is an excerpt from a recent email: Hi Kris, If you can commit to an initial order of 10 pieces (including your own) then at least the prices/hood will be more reasonable. If 9 hoods are being shipped down to Oregon to CS, then the cost of shipping/hood is $100US. If it's just done in the regular CF pattern, then each hood will cost ~$650CAD/hood. This is factoring some of the tooling cost/ hood. A deposit of 50% must be made @ the time of order. We'll also need a stock hood to replicate. And yes, if you don't want the washer nozzles to be pre-drilled, they can be left un-drilled. Best Regards, Jack For those of you wanting to know the exchange, $650 CDN is equivalent of about $475 USD. This company is pretty well known in Canada in the world of Suburu's. iON also makes an OEM hood for the P5 as well as a ram air style with a ram air ducting sytem similar to a hood from Cervinis.com. They also have the ability for colour CF weave and CF/kevlar weave.Their CF hood for the P5/MP3/MSP Protege - weighs in at only 12lbs (well actually 11.9lbs). - Features rolled edges (so not cut-off like some other hoods) this prevents lift from occuring; - All OE hood mounting points are retained; - Zinc/Nickle plated hood latch included - The underlay/under hood structure is made of NBFRP which is a maleable form of fibreglass. The whole top skin however is CF or CF/Kevlar depending on your choice. iOn also have some neat toys for the Protege's (3gens) such as upgraded break kits, including a big break kit with a big hefty price tag to go with it, and have done business with at least one guy who recognizes them from their previous days...thread here: For those interested, iON Performance currently holds the title for the highest powered 2.0L Subaru Impreza WRX in the UK that's daily driven. Over 435awhp @ 1.8bar boost and over 350lb-ft torque. Best of all it's a in a sleeper wagon chassis! The only changes that the owner of this car made was the use of our header system and P500 hybrid turbo. The rest of his car remained the same as before the use of our parts (which made ~300awhp and 287lb-ft torque @ 1.36bar boost) So back to OUR hood...the hood to be created would be an OEM style hood in basic CF. Derrick from Corksport will be talking to iON in the next day about this project. For those of you in the US, its looks as though you would be able to get your hood through corksport.com and not have to have it shipped from Canada. Also, for an added $75 CDN ($55 USD), you can have a colour CF weave. Colour CF is available in blue, red, or yellow. Orange is also available, but may cost more as their is very little of it. Here is a pic of iON's hood for the 3gen/P5... http://www.angelfire.com/ca2/KDaWg/cfhood1.JPG http://www.angelfire.com/ca2/KDaWg/cfhood2.JPG If there is success with this hood, im sure one for the 95/6 Protege could then be made too! If you ARE interested in this project, please call and bug Derrick at Corksport at 1-503-252-5700. Dont forget to tell him that 'Kris-from-Canada' sent you! No worries, Kris |
Just wanted to clarify a few things
K Dawg ONE - Just wanted to make sure that everyone knows that these hoods will not have the washer nozzles pre-drilled.
Once CS gives us a call to make arrangements, you guys can call CS to make your own arrangements for payment etc. |
the 97-98 hoods are the same as the 95-96 hoods ...
damn that's a sweet deal .. http://www.members.tripod.com/protos...e/protege1.jpg I think I may be interested , but money is just really tight right now ... what sort of time frame are we looking at for this? .. How much time do we have to put in? |

Awesome!
A CF hood for the 2nd Gen, Finally. I am very interested, please let me know when and where available. Just think, carbon fiber on spark green mica, I know yall are feelin' it!
|
i am extremely interested.... it will take a couple of months though to raise the money since i'm not getting much work right now... will they drill holes for nozzles for a little extra? or do we have to do it ourselves or have someone? also will they latch with the stock latch? or do we have to use hood pins?
|
i would like to get one but i can't due to the fact that im 16 and i can only work so much... maybe at the end of the summer. hopefully ill get 40+hrs in a week over the summer :)
|
Hey guys!
I would be really interested in that, let us know the final price and possible S/H charges according to size or weight. Mine would have to be shipped to FL. |

so is this going to be a completely stock looking cf hood? or will it have a scoop? also what is the down payment needed?
|
ok sorry for the last post... i read the first post a while ago and should have read it again... i do have a ? that wasnt' addressed... will cs boost the price when they get their hands on it?
oh also... since they seem to have a really good price... what about making the housings for projectors for us? just a thought |
Update -
As of yet, we have not been contacted by CS about the hoods. We will not make them unless there are at least 10 guys who are willing to put down a 50% non-refundable deposit on them. Our time would be better spent doing R&D on go-fast parts, hence unless you guys are actually serious, and have the backing from CS, we will not make them. |
well since in a week or two i have to pay for my jspec bumper it will take about a month but i can have the down payment for the cf hood by then and another 2-4 weeks i should be able to have the rest.... would that possibly work?

Are there pictures anywhere of the underside of a hood (I understand one hasn't been made as of yet for the Protege, but a pic of another hood would do). I'm interested in seeing the underside bracing, hinge mounting, latch assembly, and prop rod provisions. Also, what sort of time frame are we talking here? I understand deposits will be taken as soon as the minimum order of ten is fulfilled, but how long after that until the hoods are delivered? And do I understand the pricing correctly - $650CAN+$100USD shipping. Thanks...
|
what do you want to see, the undersid of a factory hook or the underside of a CF hood...
If it is a CF hood then you would have to refer to one of the 3rd gen guys , because they ION also made CF hoods for the 3rd gens ... I think everything would be of high quality though Bruce |
lotsacars - this is what the latch looks like

General info
Please note that the prices on shipping quoted are for shipping to 1 location only. If there are 8 different locations to which the hoods are being shipped to, each hood will cost $150US for shipping.
As well, we will require someone to send in a stock hood which is totally straight, no dents or paint chips |

Bruce95fmla - well there's nothing really to think, however there hopefully is only 1 person co-ordinating the payments and all the address of the people involved.
Hopefully things will go as planned for you guys and we'll be able to make the hood. |

Bruce95fmla - yes we do. If payments are made in USD, then a 7% equalization charge is added. If paid in CAD then 5% is added for the transaction charges.

bigchrissays - These are for just Regular CF hoods. the blue CF/Kevlar is more.
Please sign up here: http://www.protegeclub.com/forum/sho...threadid=27244 |
iON Performance - so the price of the blue weave cf would be around 550usd?
|
bigchrissays - no it's not ~$550US, it's ~$611US ($825CAD). The initial post is wrong for the colored CF/Kevlar. It's $75CAD more then the V-weave, not then the regular CF hood. (ie: $175CAD more then the regular CF)
|
so it would be approximately 306 american on the 15th of jul. right?

It's $75CAD more then the V-weave, not then the regular CF hood. (ie: $175CAD more then the regular CF) Just fill in this below and I can put it in the Sign up .... PRICES: Regular Carbon Fiber= Colored Carbon Fiber= V-weave(if applicable)= Shipping to be Approx. 150+ ... I will collect all addresses and forward them to you , so that you can determine this more accurately , but we can use that figure as a hypothetical figure... To be honest I rather keep this simple but if it not a problem for you then cool ... Also why do you charge me or other buyers to send you money .. Unless it was paypal that your using , I can understand that , due to paypal charging you.. If you use paypal then money can be changed over into CAD currency from the start and would save you the problems.. Once you determine what transaction method you want to use then I will post that up on the sign up link.. I think I would prefer paypal .. Thanks Bruce |
Bruce95fmla - here's the info you want:
PRICES: (not that this is for those who are serious about being the first 10) Regular Carbon Fiber= $650CAD MO ($488.72US), Cashier's cheque. $682.50CAD via Paypal ($513.16US) Colored Carbon Fiber /Kevlar (Blue, Red, Yellow, Orange) = $825CAD MO, Cashier's cheque ($620.30US). $866.25CAD via Paypal ($651.32US). V-weave(if applicable)= N/A If we're paid in Canadian currency through Paypal, they still charge us 5%. This is a transaction charge that can't be avoided unfortunately. Please note that the deposits are 50% of the cost of the hoods. Shipping is not counted in for the deposit. These are non-refundable. So if you're committed you're commited. |
thanks , I updated the other listing.
