As far as selling them I'm not sure anyone would spend what one of these cost. I would need to sell a copy for $3000 each to break even. My Carbon Fiber guy said he had 150 hours in this one.

They are a true carbon fiber hood that doesn't need hood pins. It is made in Canada not overseas. It is made off a top and bottom mold then glues together with a thin spacing material to add stiffness. The bottom is class A surfaced Carbon Fiber.

If you gotta have one drop me a line. But don’t get sticker shock when I tell you the price.

The car is turning out great. Paul and Joe are doing a great and quick job. I always enjoy going to their shop they are fun to work with.
