niceguy678us Posted December 10, 2002 Share Posted December 10, 2002 Can you guys direct me to the company that makes the fiberglass cowl induction hoods with the metal hood "skeleton" underneath the fiberglass "skin". I would like to find this particular one, saw one very rescently on ebay and liked the idea of the metal reinforcement, and retaining the stock hinges and latch. I never liked the look of hood pins and would like to avoid this if at all possible. Also would you also know of the quality of these hoods, I've heard that over a few years fiberglass tends to seperate from the metal it is bonded to. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Dan Juday Posted December 15, 2002 Share Posted December 15, 2002 I haven't heard of one that has a full metal skeleton. However, I know that the SubtleZ hood has metal reinforcements at the hinge attachment points. From what I have read here John Washington may be back in business as soon as Monday. If you are serious you can e-mail John at john@reactionresearch.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niceguy678us Posted December 16, 2002 Author Share Posted December 16, 2002 I believe the guy on that link is the same guy and same pieces that were on ebay rescently. I saw the subtle hoods and they look like only the small stock hump is raised, I think all the others are wider am I correct? And how does that TPI fit? Do you need a cowl hood to clear it?

Dan Juday Posted December 16, 2002 Share Posted December 16, 2002 You are correct on the SubtleZ hood. The tpi clears the stock hood with room to spare. For future referance, please post your question in only one forum. That way you don't end up with a split thread, which this has turned into.

Guest Anonymous Posted December 16, 2002 Share Posted December 16, 2002 That was my posting and those 3 pieces, including the cowl hood, sold. I am shipping tonight or tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niceguy678us Posted December 17, 2002 Author Share Posted December 17, 2002 Sorry about the split Dan. I just didn't know which forum to post in so I thought I might try both (paint and body/body kits. By the way, how does the TPI feel, power wise, and how does the car pull from low to high end? I've heard that the TPI's fall off the face of the earth after 5,000 is this a fact, or is it rectifiable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
