hughdogz Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Well that is B.S. !! They even watermarked the pics from tuner mag or turbo mag of Austin's ride like it was their own. Austin had better get a free hood out of this. ;P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlderThanMe Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 I saw Austin's hood in 06... It's CF over fiberglass. Note the ad said it was CF with a FRP frame... But the pic where they show the underside it is clearly just a carbon over fiberglass hood. Not straight carbon. It does look like a nice piece though.

SR240Z Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 >>>> Austin bought the hood through me which i had RACEONUSA make the mold from a stock 240z hood. They are the sole distributors of the hood and i no longer stock them because they moved much farther away from our shop for me to pick up when i need hoods. It is a complete fiberglass hood with a layer of CF on the top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest 280ZForce Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 Cool ALex, Well at least we know they are legit.. Thanks for chimming in.. Race On USA is a legit company, they are not located that far from me and I have purchased from them before in person at their warehouse.

wickiewicked240z Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 I too have purchase parts from them,silvia conversion and origin body kit back when i had my 240sx. They use to be located in anaheim but they moved to ontario,CA. I used my dads sellers permit to get the stuff cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

intenseg Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 Is the carbon fiber hood on benchmark's website better than it looks on the site because the tie points look weak. bad laying? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunar240z Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 the hood on the silver vildini Z is full carbon IIRC, wasnt it the prototype or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SR240Z Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 The hood we have on the silver z is actually from Classic Datsun's first batch of full Carbon hoods when they first started coming out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
