Does any one else think that is heavy? What type of bracing do they have in the back & how much? How many layers of carbon is it? It seems like you could get away with 2 or 3 layers of really light weight fiber and have an X shape nomex core on the inside and it would be more then strong enough and weight almost nothing.


-Kevin

the backsides look just like the factory lids, bracing and all.....these are the "street" version which are a tad bit thicker, yes they could be made thinner and lighter, but they feel very stout and I feel no flexing at all when I pick them up and shake them.....

Getty does make a "race" version that is lighter

Mike,

Those look awesome!!!!!! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif)

My question: will the weave show through paint (as on Ferrari F50s et al) if one were to paint them body color?

I cannot feel the weave, so I've have to say no, you it will not show thru the paint.....

the lids have an optical illusion to them, the weave looks like it's under a 5" deep clear coating, very cool...now to get them home and on the car without the wife noticing (and pay off the credit card bill before she sees it (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif) )

The lids use the stock latches and do not flex at 100 mph.

You cannot use your springs on front or rear.

The fit is excellent, however they are slightly smaller than stock and have a larger gap all around.

Mine has small scratches also, no big deal.

After seeing Mike's CFs and for all you newbees out there. You can still be part of the 914club group buy through Getty. Call Neal at 951-686-4386. Either front or back CF lids are $499. Buy both and shipping is $100 anywhere.

as long as I still have my anemic 1.8, I don't think I have to worry about reaching speeds high enough to cause flexing (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

does he make fenders or flares yet?

If so, how would you attach them? Bolts? Rivets? Resin?

While there's NO question the Carbon Fiber would be WAY cooler,
Sheridan's Fiberglass Front Hood weighs the same:

This is what I am getting....

In talking with Neal at Getty, he had some ideas, about how to put a panel in for the headlight areas. Sounded like it would work, but I leave it for him to describe.

Sheridan's is listed as a skin, to me, a skin is not a bolt on item with the underside frame/brackets like the Getty Design lids I bought...I could be wrong (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

They look beautiful (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wub.gif) Inside and outside (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wub.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wub.gif)

Somebody asked something about the weight and said they are heavy. I wonder if they are *REAL* carbon fiber, or are they glass fiber with carbon fiber top layer ??

I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO tempted to pull out the credit card and order. Those are so nice. Funny thing is that it's the underside pics that really light me up. 100% stock replacement is gut!

If you can't use your springs with the lids would Camp914's hood 'struts' be ok?

can you really tell the difference between gaps with stock lid and the CF ones?
