Full Carbon Fiber Hoods (2 on hand)

[twistedsymphony]

I've seen a CF hood fail first hand TWICE

Two different brands from reputable companies, both hoods had been on the cars less than 3 months, and both were professionally installed.

The hood latch failed on both of them on the highway flying back and cracking the windshield/caving the roof slightly.

IMO if you're not installing hood pins... you're f-ing crazy.

if the fit was actually decent I'd buy one of these in a heartbeat... I'd paint it silver to match the vx... the factory hood is stupid heavy. the weight savings alone is worth it IMO.

You have to drill and add bonnet pins - that's what two of my friends with C-One c/f bonnets (hoods) on their Yarii did (that's the "Echo" version of the Yaris btw).



The first two questions that you have to answer are always "yes, it is real Carbon Fibre" and "No, the bonnet pins aren't fake". Makes a change from "Its a Vehicross..."
