Carbon Fiber Hood?

by **Mossy** » Thu Sep 25, 2003 6:45 pm

I have a black 2000 v6 solara

My hood got ruined by falling acorns, and I want to replace it with carbon fiber.

VIS seems to be the most popular choice but where do I get one or how do I go about ordering one??

Is it gonna be on backorder till hell freezes over??

Thanks alot I did search and not all my questions were answered.
Alot of the posts were from months past

Thank you very much.

Has anyone purchased the hood from adventon before?
Another hood that I checked was fiber images but it's $600.

I was thinking the same thing. That price seems almost too good. If anybody has one, how do you like it?

the pricing is so low b/c they kill you on the shipping.

Shipping is about $130. Total is around $440 at adventon.
Still better than fiber images $600 and vis' long back order.

I talked to VIS about 2 weeks ago, and they said that there is a group buy right now. I also think that ultraslow solara was part of that group buy.
I think the price was around 400 with shipping (don't quote me on that price)
I'll check the for sale section.

That would REALLY be appreciated! If you could stop by and take pictures to post and tell us the materials they use for the latches and stuff like that. Look for imperfections in the cf. If no pics then at least your comments. It would be much better than a blind buy. THANKS! -JoeB

Waiting isnt a big deal to me, as long as its to excessive!

I just want to know now what company would you choose?

I see 3 names VIS, FIBER IMAGES and ADENTON?

They all seem to be pretty much the same price

Some cheap with high shipping other high with low shipping

I just wanna kno the best pick thanks

Maybe someone should ask adventon about a group buy

VIS and Fiber Images are known commodities in the market. It'll be interesting to see this offering in comparison to the rather expensive, Fiber Images, and non-existent VIS hoods.

There was a guy who posted a long time ago as showstoppersusa, which is also his website, and he was offering CF hoods, but I can't find them on his site. Maybe you'll have to email or PM him.
