|
|
| Has anyone seen any fiberglass or sheet-metal hoods (paintable) that come with vents? I love the vented hood look, but not a huge fan of the carbon fiber hood on a white car. Granted with the right paint scheme it could look VERY nice, but I don't think I am ready nor can I afford the paint booth time yet! lol |

I know VIS Racing has the Terminator style in Fiberglass or also the CF.
www.visracing.com
Click on "Scion" on the list of cars on the left of the site. From there, click on XB then click on 07-08 (don't ask me why they have those years) then click on Body Kit then choose Hood after that. You can enlarge the pic they have. |

Sheetmetal will more than likely have to be fabricated and cost lots of $$$.
Fiberglass is a lesser expensive option when compared to carbon fiber, but carbon fiber can still be painted. |
