Carbon Creations Hood

bit · Feb 22, 2010

Does anyone have experince with Carbon Creations? I have friend looking to buy one of there stock replacment hoods for his 89. The intent is to not paint the hood so the fit needs to be nearly perfect out of the box.
Carbon Creations Carbon Fiber Hoods - OEM for 87-93 Ford Mustang at Andy's Auto Sport

I also found that visracing.com offers a stock replacment hood, but I think that is more than he is wanting to spend.

Thanks for any help guys.

You may not get many replys due to the ricer effect but i have seen 1 on my buddys sn95 it looked to fit nice but thats not a fox so idk

Well, its not my car so I could care less about the ricer effect. I am just trying to help out a friend.

If they throw in a double decker 6' tall wing, then I'd definitly get the hood

I don't really think painting the hood would make it fit any better...

Correct, but all the work you cover up with the paint does.

So long as the Mr. Bodykit website still exists, so will the word ricer.

Dude, This is COOL. Okay?

COOL, not RICE. This $hits awesome.

C'mon, a stock carbon replacement hood doesn't make his car look like a clapped out Civic! Geez, the new Shelby Mustangs have carbon parts and they aren't "ricer"

Besides, general rule - do what YOU LIKE...your car. Too bad there isn't a way to get the cowl panel between the windshield and the hood to be carbon. Also see if you can get a carbon hood in a satin clearcoat. Lot of carbon companies offer that finish and it would give a different look to a blacked out hood? Maybe even paint the hood body color and leave the center raised section of the hood in carbon - similar to an 85-86 GT center blackout? Just a thought.

I've heard VIS has really good quality, remember the rule with buying car parts - get what ya pay for!

Agreed, Ive installed alot of VIS hoods on other makes over the years for customers and always liked there quality and fit.

I wouldnt put a carbon hood on my mustang but thats only cause it doesnt fit the look of my car. I could see how a fox (could) pull off a carbon hood on a motorsports themed car.

I have one of these ricer hoods on my WRX. I had it installed when my old one was destroyed in an accident. Lemme tell you, I wish I had a stock back on it, the fit and finish is good, but a lot of little stuff didn't work out so well. For instance, the air splitter doesn't bolt up, the factory squirters didn't fit right, I had so spend the extra money and time installing hood latches, and as a note, it is a Siebon hood (which has a very good rep). I didn't have a whole lot of choice since the body shop couldn't find a replacement metal one. Is there something wrong with his old hood?

I have always wanted to do one with a cowl. paint the sides and leave the cowl carbon fiber.

foxmustangman · Feb 25, 2010

^Wouldn't that make it look like a cheap bolt-on cowl?

stykthyn · Feb 25, 2010

dont care if it does or not. I saw a black four eye that did that and it was hawt

It sounds like a good idea to me. Except for the price tag, carbon fiber is cool (when used appropriately, of course).
