CF hood?

[351coupe]

I've seen many styles but I cannot find a 95 Cobra R hood in carbon fiber to fit our trucks.Anyone know where to look?

Good Luck man! sorry i couldnt help

I'd love an aftermarket hood but I can't bring myself to add weight to the truck.

check with SVTFreak he's got one on his L.

its carbon fiber, it shouldn't add weight. or am i wrong?

Your not wrong,a true carbon fiber hood is lighter than the stock hood.Thanks Tucson Pred.

SVTFreek has the 00R hood, not the 95R.

I love his hood. anyone know the retail on that hood?

 

[351coupe]

Yeah ,I just found his posts with the pictures of his hood.Sweet truck,but Nvr Spds is right,his is a 00Cobra R hood and I want a 95Cobra R hood.They have to make them,hell I've seen them on all kinds of cars,even a Honda!!!:xpl:

I think the retail on SVTfreek's hood is something like $550. Not to bad if you ask me, I plan on buying one eventually.

If I can't find a 95R hood,anyone know about regular 2/3 inch cowls in carbon fiber?I know Cervini's makes them in fiberglass but I can't seem to find shit for a CF selection.

Good luck finding an aftermarket hood that weighs less than the stock hood.

I saw a real sweet carbon fiber cowl hood by cervinis, it was on an HD on nloc or nhtoc, but it said it was a one off piece. I have only seen two carbon fiber hoods for our trucks, the 00R hood that SVTfreek has and a CF stock hood by DG motorsports.

dirtchicken - how much weight could a carbon fiber hood add? Even if it wasn't 100% CF (which would reduce weight) I would think it would at least break even, maybe weight a tiny bit more but not big enough to make a differance.

VIS Racing has three,00R,stock,and some fugly as hell looking ramair one.I've also found a couple other ones but there all ram air style.I guess I'll keep looking or wait for a company to make a cowl of some sort.Maybe I'm wrong about the weight of the stock hood but I'd find highly unlikly that Ford produced a factory hood that weighed less than a carbon fiber one,but,stranger things have happened.

 

[dirtchicken]

Our stock hood weighs 22 pounds. Like I said good luck finding a lighter one.

 

[lightninmike]

yeah it is light as a feather, i was real surprised when i took mine off at how light it was
but with that said i am deff looking for a nice cowl

 

[baer42]

I bet a carbon fiber one weighs less then 15lbs.

I'd like to see a 'factory' cowl - out of aluminum. Just like the steel cowls for the old Chevelles, but in our original metal. I tell ya, If I had a spare hood or two (and fab skills, and TIG skills, and time, and patience) I'd fab one up for me.
