Does anyone know where to find a carbon fiber hood for 944's?

 

GTRacing has some. Their catalogue is in pdf on their website. From what I can tell it's basically the same but carbon fibre so it weighs a substantial amount less. They also have fibre glass version as well.

 

Thanks jefm, i checked out their website but they want $800 for a stock carbon fiber hood. I wish i could find something a little less. but hell, thats the only one i have seen!

 

If you want carbon fibre just for the looks, there's those laminate sheets, although they likely wouldn't do a whole hood. You also could find a body shop that deals with carbon fibre and ask them to just put a layer on over top of the hood. Then you get the looks, you don't add too much weight and it shouldn't be too expensive.
If you go full carbon fibre, like if you're wanting the weight loss. You might need to look into hood pins.
Also be careful of some cheaper ones, they might not be very strong.

 

there is no way i can put sticky's on my car. i would rather just cough up the money and get something thats actually functional and looks good. ive got a chip in the hood and it is annoying the hell out of me. i was just looking into the carbon before i decide to repaint the damn thing. i didnt even think about hood pins, so good lookin out on that one.

 

If what ure looking for is not the weight saving from CF hoods but more of beauty enhancement purposes, then u could just go for a genuine Carbon fibre lamination.

Both is genuine , just that they are in 2 diff forms. the Beauty enhancement one is in weave fabric form and the other weight saving one is in reinforced plastic but they are informally know as Carbon fibre as well.

If you are lking at the beauty enchancement one, you can just get the fibre glass bonnet and then find someone to modify the finishing to Genuine CF finishes. If that it s cheaper alternative.
