The hood is two layers of 3K 2x2 Carbon fiber twill, 5.7 oz per square ft with a clear UV stable vinyl ester gelcoat. It is vacumn formed , has a 2 mil honeycomb inner and is cured at 150* for 8 hours. It is supposed to be able to sit in sunlight up to 333* without distorting. Weight is about 20lbs. I weighed a stock flat Camaro hood at 59 lbs.

What's a steel cowl hood weigh? About 80 lbs is my guess..

Has any one seen or checked out the cf hoods that Year One sells?
I believe Glasstek makes them (2"&4" cowl)for about $800.

I have been contemplating one of the Year One pieces for a couple of months, but now I will just be a big copycat if I get one. :_paranoid

I am sure they are not as pretty as this one!

Jeff, I would say your probably right on that guesstamation

Copycat,who's not a copycat on these sites?It's shared intesterest.;)
I'd still like to know if anybody has used one of these from year one?

Simply beautiful. What's the weight diff between CF and fiberglass?

Got a link to that? I can't seem to find it on their site.

You have PM. I decided I am ordering on Monday. Will let you all know how the quality is.

Charlie love the hood! That is going to look killer on the Red Witch. :thumbsup:

They stopped making it. We've had one on order since July and have been promised it since November and still nothing. But we have a potential tracking # that says it will be here Monday.
