For those of you interested in carbon fiber hoods, please note that the price quote shown on page 1 of this thread is for a ready-to-bolt CF hood with a grade-A surface quality. This means a UV-protected, clear-coated scratch resistant high-gloss naked CF finish on par to what you would find on today’s $200K+ sports cars. A lower cost alternative would be a grade-B surface (I think this is what Getty provides but I’m not 100% sure), which means just a bare CF panel requiring a proficient body & paint shop to prep, prime, paint and clear-coat.

If anyone is interested on a grade-B CF hood, I’ll be happy to provide a quote.

Group buys are always welcome.

BTW, no need for hood pins in this case.

Dov,
I suspect the Getty hoods are Grade-A as most of them I've seen are naked CF and beautiful. Randal just painted and clear coated his leaving a naked number circle in CF. I'm sure yours are fine too...

My point was that there is a more economical approach compared to what I quoted previously for those that don't need the naked CF look because they're thinking of painting their hoods anyway. I'm just offering a possible alternative. I'm sure the Getty hood is a fine product but no one has been able to provide any technical specs (i.e.: UV-protection, Type of CF, CF to resin ratio, CF to GF ratio if any, weight, etc.). My advice for anyone thinking of spending $$$ on a critical composite part is to conduct a more detailed apple-to-apple comparison first in order to understand what you're really getting. No 2 composite parts from 2 different manufacturers are ever the same. My product's specs are and will always be available for anyone to review.
