RE: hoods - 7/25/2007 7:14:03 PM    ericemery DF Site Moderator Posts: 3861 Joined: 1/30/2007 From: Michigan Status: offline its as close to carbon fiber as you can get without using actual C.F...  its a way to make fiberglass stronger in flat areas. (where its weakest.) I wouldn't be surprised it they use metal mesh in the middle of those hoods... _____________________________ 2006 SLT 4X4 Quad cab V8. I have a myspace?

My '04 Tbird has composite hood trunk and front fenders. It works great, the car was in a hailstorm in Texas while new on the lot. The rear fender , windshield frame and driver door got baseball size dents but the composite was fine! < Message edited by JAB02LHS -- 7/25/2007 7:38:29 PM > _____________________________ John A.

Status: offline i was just on my other site and a ram owner just received his composite hood went to the local shop and they wanted to charge 600.00 to prep and paint the hood. and it was off the truck. does this sound correct for composite? if so you can forget about me purchasing one. i would be better off getting a scoop and pop riveting on. _____________________________ thats right, i did it so what, cry two tears in a bucket, @#$% it, lets take it to the stage 13.7 / 101.3 in the 1/4 mile (in reply to 4x4QC06V8DKTA) Post #: 15
