Replacement Fiberglass hood

[dbayer79]

I was actually talking about replacing the whole hood. I have refinished the insert, but the hood itself right above the grill has a 3" crease in it that i have had repaired but still looks bad to me. I found a replacement hood online for like $420 but i was wondering if anyone knew of any fiberglass production hoods out there. I have had the VX for 4 years and am now just starting to realize how rare parts are for it. Thanks for the help.

You could probably get one made localy using your old hood as a mold.

If you're not shy about playing with silicone and fiberglass mat, set some pennies aside and check out both smooth-on and US composites for molding your own. I'm contemplating doing the cladding, just haven't had time to pull the mixer and vacuum bagger out and get sticky

You could quite easily mold in whatever sweet one-off hood insert (vent, cowl, etc) you wanted! Yeah, it'll cost a few dollars, but if you make a three and sell two, recuperation of costs wouldn't be hard to achieve
