RICE!

I wouldn't go that far as to say its a rice add on. If you didn't already know Carbon Fiber is lighter then fiber glass and stonger at the same time. Take the SLR Merc, the body is made from Carbon Fiber.

Tex h2 is right about the carbon hood. Dragon does use allot of carbon stuff and that material is tough. Now I know about H2 carbon hood I'm going to check out how much other stuff offered for exterior. I'm talking about buying it and painting it. I want it because it will not chip around the edges. We have to be on look out for edge chipping before shows in enough time to repair and paint. Dragon is skilled at hand laying carbon and I had thought about asking him if edges could be layed carbon. Dragon would have to either build reverse cowl scoop or really take scoop off the factory hood and put layers on it inside out to mold it carbon hood. No problem Dragon would do it his way.

Thanks for this heads up. I just have not given thought to exterior carbon much less a hood. I have just seen interior carbon.

I still don;t understand putting a CF hood on an H2.

I can see it if you are building a show truck or something. CF, at least what I have delt with, I had a bike with CF skins, fairing, chain stays, rear hugger, etc. The point was for lighter dressings. That stuff scratched up so easily and showed every mark.

I can only imagine someone putting this on thier daily driver and having scratches everywhere. Other than that, it would look cool on a black truck. The price seems good too.

But TO ME, putting CF hood on, is like adding a spoiler to the back....
