Carbon Creations CF coupe hood?



Hey, I got in a bit of a fender bender in the AE92 the other day and am now in the need of a new hood... so I thought I'd look into some CF options because the stock hood weighs a billion pounds...



I found one made by "carbon creations"



Any one have one? or used the company for anything else?

$400 is the cheapest I've found it...

This thread is about hoods.... either private message me or find my thread in the for sale section and ask there.

How's the car coming along?

Still no progress... I have no where to work on it, I have a celica in my garage that I'm fixing up to sell with no plates on it and flat tires... so I can't take the corolla apart anywhere.



I'm closing on a house on the 18th, so it probably won't get touched till after that when I have a nice 2 car garage



I found one site that said the weight of the hood was 35 lbs in the description.... which I find hard to believe. If that's the case I won't bother because the stock hood is like 43 lbs... I emailed the company that makes it, but they haven't responded.

Some places use the factory underside metal half of the hood and just epoxy the carbon fiber hood skin to that. Otherwise, if it was all carbon fiber, it should be lighter than 35lbs.



And I went to the Crazy Rays today. I found the GTS all the way in the back. I was going to snatch the rear disc but someone else around here is building up an AE92 as well I think. Both the rear hubs, disc, calipers and the ebrake is gone. However, the arms are still there. I should've unbolted the arms and throw them into the river. So when they realize they need them, they're not there... I want the rear disc brakes!

you couldn't peice together a kit from the two of the GT-Ss? I would just collect all the parts you can and look for the parts you need later. The latteral link isn't a big deal, I'm pretty sure you can just use 2 SR5/sedan front links for the GT-S hub

The Black GTS that was there was gone. It was only that white one, which is no use no more.
