that looks pretty badass man but if it was me i would've taken that money and put it for some different mods.... i mean with 1300 bucks you can do alot ya know but it does look good man defiantely different and unquie man :rockon:

 

[JKD COBRA]

lol, thats true. When you look at the engine mods you could buy for the same price, it doesn't seem worth it. But sometimes it is cool to do something different :beer:

BTW - since this thread has been up for a while, would you guys like me to take some more recent picures of the hood?

[JKD COBRA]

I am going to wash the car soon, so when I do, I will get some more pictures. Just hang tight :beer:

 

[JKD COBRA]

Ok guys, I took some more pics!

I did the best I could to get some shots from different angles. It was a little cloudy out today. If it clears up tomorow, I will take some more pictures out in the open so there won't be any shadows from trees. But here are pics I just took:

it is a very subtile difference --that is what makes it look badass-- I guess I couldn't pull something like that off on a silver cobra

old ass post!!!!

hood works well with a dark color'd car.

how much were the final weight savings?

I heard they have made a CF mustang trunk lid

 

[JKD COBRA]

Thanks for the compliments guys! :beer:

luke - the stock hood weighs about 38-40lbs and the CF weighs 25lbs. So the weight savings were only 15lbs or so.

And yeah, they have a CF trunk too. But what is frustrating, is that the price has came down so much since I got my hood, that you can get the CF hood and CF trunk for the same price as I paid for just the hood when they first came out. lol :bash:

With the 8 pages of compliments and attention, you should start building them and selling them, seems a lot of people would be interested

Yeah it sure seems that way. But I tried something like that in the past and it didn't work out. It wasn't a hood though, it was our coil covers.

There was a company that made carbon fiber products with awesome quality. They made a lot of CF coil covers for supra's and other imports. So I contacted them and they said they could make them for cobra's. I then started a thread to get a group buy going. But, not enough people were willing to pay the price. The custom carbon fiber coil covers which looked awesome, were $275. Which seems like a lot, I agreed with people that it was a lot of money for something that is only for looks.

But you know what I found out? Stock coil covers are $220-250. So really, $275 was a great price for a custom carbon fiber coil cover. But, oh well. At least I tried :beer:

Where did you buy the hood from? And is the latch reinforced with steel or anything?
