Bodykits NW Carbon Fiber Hoods - Who has one?

I'm in the market for a Carbon Fiber hood. I'd love to go with Fiber Images, but they're too damn expensive. Bodykits NW seems to meet somewhere in the middle with their price. I was wondering if anyone on this site has one. I'd like to know how it's made and how well it fits before I actually order one.

Thanks. [IMG]i/expressions/beer_yum.gif[/IMG]

i have one, of the lower quality ones, paid 380+100 for shipped. i won't recommend it the tweets are tight, but the edges are not rolled nor sand down, and the hood is developing creases, i am going to end up getting a new one they claim that theyr regular priced hoods (around 500-600 dollars) are a lot better, but i don't trust them

Spend the extra money and get a Fiber Images... You're car will be glad you did.


I personally am getting one soon and have never heard anything bad about them.

Do you have those in stock or would you have them sent from somewhere else? Last time I talked to you it was going to be 2 weeks before you could get them.

The 2 weeks have passed, and I have one here, and DG has several. I know they go fast, so let me know.

DG CF Hood = $575 plus S/H

Blah. I've come to the conclusion that Carbon Fiber Hoods are pointless. They serve no purpose on our cars. I'll just spend the money to fix the damage on my hood.
