UPDATED: The new hood is ON! Pics inside
 

Its here, im going to put it on tomorrow! More pics to follow when I get it on...

The good news, it looks like I can possibly bolt it up instead of it being a liftoff! But I will definately need front hood pins.

Its that, pretty much a harwood in carbon fiber. I only got cf because its almost the same price, and this way I dont have to match paint ;)

that looks awsome i love carbon fiber! can't wait to see pics of it on the car!

Looks good!

Get it on the car! lol

Damn thats a huge cowl haha.. How much was it?

I like the "intended for off road use only" haha.. riiiiiiight.

that's because of the hood pins, in some areas evidently they aren't "legal"

looks good dunno how thats gonna look but do your thang for sho

very sweet! cant wait to see it on

Here it is, in all its glory, cue cheezy drumroll.

I love it!!! That seconf to last pic is now my walpaper!

Bump, tell me what you think!

i think its absolutely awesome. looks like chads 94 a little... hood looks great. that must have been scary makin holes for the pins.

Hell yea it was. I've never drilled through carbon fiber before. I actually went to a coworker and borrowed his diamond tipped bit to drill it, I was so afraid it was going to split or crack, but so far so good!

looks pretty nice... not really a fan of carbon fiber, but I like the design. Pretty cool.

looks really good!! :D

Looks good man

Why did you put the hood pins so far back? And I would be careful about those lanyards scratching up the paint..

I was wondering the same..

The lanyards are rubber coated. And about the hood pins being so far back, I had nowhere solid to mount it really, so I used the space where the hood bumpers used to be with some washers.

Really? Cause when i had to use the pins for my cowl I installed them threw the upper radiator support. They didnt go as far back as that and looked ok.

Looks good.. Not a fan of hood pins but thats me..

Thought this would be a good time to bring this up. Found this on Afterthoughtsauto.com... for those of you who want all the looks of hood pins but without all the drilling...

Not a bad idea if you like how they look. But when i had Epic painted and the guys fixed the hood latch to where they weren't needed any more, i opted to not have them.

Ouch $63 for the fake hood pins?

The price of vanity.

Mighta helped him yesterday, huh? ;)

price for gay. anything that is just for looks is usually gay, unless its something like a hood or wheels, but if its trying to look like something its not, LAME. hood looks great and pins look nice as well.

Looks good. I always wanted a carbon fiber hood for my thirdgen but the only one I found was a japanese one and to buy it and have it shipped will cost me close to $1400.

:lolsign: thats ridiculous! you could buy any hood you want for under 600 shipped i would think. some guy on TGO that lives in hawaii has one.

Depends on where you buy it. Unless they have a deal with a shipping company, its going to cost them $125+ just for shipping to cont US.

i was just talking about for 3rd gens

You talking bout crazy hawiian? On the green drift car? I dont think he has one I think his is just a black hood.

yea crazy hawain. it is carbon fiber. h/o let me see if i can find the thread where he had pics of it.

ok but im sure its a stock 82-84 hood painted black

lol im a dumbass you were right
