Looking for a CF or fiberglass planter box SS hood. Quality is a must. Anvil won't do it.

As far as Fiberglass, VFN, Glasstek come to mind. Both are in IL. But I don't think they make it but I'm sure they would for the

As for carbon, if you are looking to dump BIG just get in touch with Mark Steilow, he had is own made (not what you looking for) but he might be able to to help you with who made his molds $2-3K just for the molds if I remember correctly then $2k for the hood itself. His hood fits really good and is full carbon.

What do you mean by a planter box, one that accepts ice cube trays?

Hey Ron, I've just heard of them referred to as plantar (planter) box hoods.
I guess the chrome looking inserts look like a planting box.

Colorado I'm not aware of anyone that makes that style as a standard catalogue part.

It would take some balls, but you could get a carbon or FG hood and some Eddie Motorsports ice cube trays and cut the hood to fit. Maybe even bond a lower shelf so they sit somewhat flush. I would do a mock up on a FG hood before attempting on an expensive carbon piece, but a competent shop could do it.

I'd love to see it ...
