Anyone out there have any thoughts on making a GT-4 look alike hood out of fiberglass or carbon fiber? I want to make one I can paint to match the rest of the car (well... will probably re=paint whole car at that point). The goal is mostly to loose weight, but I figured it couldn't hurt to make the hood look better while I was at it.
How would I cut / modify the front bumper to match? |

ebereni makes an insert that would make you only haveto cut a hole and patch it in.

I'll quote my original post: "The goal is mostly to loose weight, but I figured it couldn't hurt to make the hood look better while I was at it." I don't think cutting a small hood scoop hole is going to significantly shed any weight. It might make life easier when fabricating a lightweight hood from fiberglass though? |
