I missed a couple threads on CF. Got a question though.

I have a Sunny Stylings CF hood right now. (The ones with the black border.) But I would like something less racey. It's less for show and more for real usage. It has a full fiberglass skeleton and is the lightest Prelude hood I've experienced.

My question is has anyone here bought a FiberImages hood? I saw the strength testing videos and those are pretty impressive. However, the hood had no skeleton. Does anyone know if they just removed the skeleton for the testing video?

Just wanted to see where other people got their CF hoods.

Thanks,
Rich

How's the fit and finish? Are you interested in selling it? I would be interested in buying, but I am all the way out in Texas.

Anyway, let me know. I need something that will withstand race use.

Hey mine has a black border around it, does that mean mine is a sunny styling one too? I thought the fiber images one had one too?

I have a FiberImages CF hood... it is pretty nice...I would definitely recommend FiberImages as the way to go for Carbon Fiber...

By the way, where did you see these strength test videos?

Anybody, mmm?

The border is a black gel coat applied to hide the edges where the CF overlaps. You can't tell the brand on that alone...

Ludegirl and I will have ours by the end of the week so we can let you know then.

i kind of want a street cf hood. a friend of mine just got a cf hood thats just beautiful. it has a full skeleton and has the closest CF weave i've seen yet. the hood is heavier than my race hood, but it looks like I wouldn't need pins.

Is the fiberimages hood like that? he wouldn't tell me where he got it. hehe i think he made it (jk). anyways i might sell my hood and get a new one. not sure yet. i wouldn't know how to ship this hood.

we definately need a CF hood club. ppl usually cry when they see my hood. haha nah, but i get a lot of looks. i think cf hoods are actually illegal. i'm not sure though.
