av240z Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 Does anyone know if a company makes CF hoods for a 240z? How much do they run for and could you please give me some information of places that do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim240z Posted July 27, 2003 Share Posted July 27, 2003 In all the discussions on CF hoods, the only person that makes true CF hoods, is John Coffey's buddy, and if I remember correctly, it was about 2.5 to 3 grand. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRAD D Posted July 27, 2003 Share Posted July 27, 2003 Some one was making them for 500-600$ as well on here, but I can not find it??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flibuoy Posted July 27, 2003 Share Posted July 27, 2003 Just out of curiousity I took the advice and searched "carbon fiber hood". I have no personal interest of any kind in them incidentally...and got zero returns. So, even if I had gotten a hit or two they, by definition, are not necessarily the latest information available from HybridZ...time and members march on. The response, and I hesitated to even respond to the post, "do a search" can be a great suggestion but at best is only part of a needed answer. I often use the search function and it is an invaluable tool that should be used first, but members should not be dismissed to search function participation only. We can be thin skinned even if we are thick headed enough to want to put a V8 in a Z. IMHO john Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavyZ Posted July 27, 2003 Share Posted July 27, 2003 ... but members should not be dismissed to search function participation only... Granted, but this topic has been discussed several times before. The search function seems to apparently not work for some or at least it worked better when the "search all forums" function was still available. We lost a lot of old archives, apparently, when the site was upgraded. Too bad---all that old priceless info... Davy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

niceguy678us Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 I have tried and tried to contact pinkey about the tailight carbon fibre pieces but to no avail. Does somebody else in here know him offline? That hood would be nice as well..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ON3GO Posted August 11, 2003 Share Posted August 11, 2003 Zach that pic of that hood is the one thats 300-400 bucks.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Zachb55 Posted August 11, 2003 Share Posted August 11, 2003 now did that mount right up or what? i mean i would assume it uses hood pins, and i would be fine with those instead of the hood lift assembly, but i see that hood doesnt use pins in the front... i wonder if it flexes much when closing the hood.....? -Zach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ON3GO Posted August 12, 2003 Share Posted August 12, 2003 if i remember correctly the guy said it didnt fliex much if not at all. i think he did use hood pins, but the pins were up top... not 100% sure, he could have used the stock locking mounts. i still wanna buy it if i can. mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest the_dj Posted August 12, 2003 Share Posted August 12, 2003 I really have got to pull the front of my car and make a CF mold of the whole thing (g-nose & hood), but my car is a daily driver for the summer which makes it somewhat difficult.

j260z Posted August 13, 2003 Share Posted August 13, 2003 i found an old email i sent to the guy that made the cf hood on the previous page. his name is johnathan and his email is Loch10@hotmail.com . i don't know if he is still making them or not but it's worth a try.
