  • Which looks better carbon fiber or fiberglass hood?

    I'd like to the Stingray Z Style hood for my '07 G6 but aren't completely sure which would look better: the carbon fiber or just plain fiberglass, what do you think? My car is an all black convertible.

      How well does the hot engine compartment get cooled down? I would really love to get it to cool down the engine compartment

        Post that up, bro! The site doesn't even have pictures of an actual hood, it's just a crappy photoshop.

          Yes, please post a pic up of that hood. I've been anxiously awaiting to see it.

                  That looks sick as hell! I would've gotten that for my GXP if I kept it.

                    I'm not a huge fan of the look, but the quality looks good from what I can see. Gaps all look pretty even.

                      the gaps have been a nightmare because now the whole front end is after market also aligning a hood by yourself is not recommended at all FYI everyone lol i think im going to remove the hood latch completely and just use hood pins i think that would fix the gaps also i dont want to drill any holes into hood so trying to find a way to remount my washer nozzles

                        That sounds much more likely. I was pretty impressed with the pictures, but normally aftermarket hoods are a PITA, even expensive ones.

                          Do a search for "wet wiper arm kit". Some vehicles have the spray nozzles on the wiper blades.

                              my wife and I got to thinking about how you deal with rain while your car sits somewhere while being rained on the hood. how does your engine compartment look after rain gets in through the opening? is this a problem to some extent?
