Checking interest carbon hoods

[beastlywarrior228]

Feather carbon said they would be interested in making carbon fiber race hoods for warriors. He needs $700 for tooling and each hood is $90 after that. So im checking to see how many would be interested in one of these too see if they were feasible. If we get 10 interested, price will be 160

I like it seems a bit pricey tho.

 

[beastlywarrior228]

Ya but its real carbon fiber

 

[duneracerweston]

Isn't carbon fiber brittle?

 

[beastlywarrior228]

Depends on the weave, usually it isnt

 

[duneracerweston]

Is it lighter then plastic?

 

[bones]

hell yeah

 

[ryder133]

I'am interested for $60

Indy cars are made out of carbon fiber... its strong as hell and super super light

 

[ryder133]

So now we just need a full carbon fiber body :tup:

Man this sounds bad to the bone. Big bucks though. As in race hood though, this means no headlight hole right?

Yes with a hood scoop

I wanna see a design. I have to dig what it will look like before I commit.

 

[beastlywarrior228]

How do you want it, the designs up to us

Thats a lot of coin for basically a piece of bling. I don't think the scoop would make any noticeable difference on temps. As far as weight it may be lighter and it may not be: Just because something is carbon fiber doesn't mean it is lighter especially vs plastic.

That being said; it would still look cool.

 

[duneracerweston]

yep cool it would be but im not sold on it being lighter ive got a skateboard made out of cf and its heaver then the wooden ones so i would want a comparison of plastic vs cf to know for sure otherwise imma stick to plastic

 

[DeadLastRacing]

I wonder if Maier would produce a scooped warrior hood?

 

[beastlywarrior228]

Thatd be badass the one they make now for the custom will work on the stock hood but it doesnt match the style
