How many layers of carbon is that hood and can you make them out of diffrent color of carbon?

Mark44

he called it visual carbon. I'm pretty sure that means it's fiberglass with one layer of carbon on the top. My 24-7 hood has 1 layer of visual carbon on the underhood insert.

please correct me if I'm wrong steve.

It's more than one layer but it does have some glass to give it some density. The part you see only has one layer of carbon and a skin coat behind it. It will have more to it once it is done . I just didn't want to invest too much time if the part wasn't going to come out perfect.
I have already completed one carbon hood and it is currently at the painter getting some clear coat. I will post some pics as soon as it comes out.

I think it looks realy good Steve. Kudos! We had countless failures when we first started using resin infusion/bagging. The learning curve is steep and expensive.

Steve the hood looks very nice. However, I have one question. How can you claim "strongest and cleanest hood on the market today" when you do not even have one completely assembled?

Very nice looking. For the guy who has everything and needs a little bling to sharpen it up.

Why so much money? That is a lot of cash when you think about it.
 
i second that crammit we had a few f**k up as well but its so cool standing there watching the resin been drawn thro the mold . now pre preg that was expensive to get right we have had a few failures with that

New for 2008 will be our WCF visual carbon stealth hood kit. We used vacuum bagging technology to make one of the strongest and cleanest hood on the market today. The weight will be around 9 lbs (maybe lighter) and come standard with dual handcups (additional 2 handcups $95 more). Price with carbon nose piece
$1495:fest06:
