Does anyone know if they make a carbon fiber hood for the 1gs? Specifically the 91's. I've seen a 92 with a carbon fiber hood. Do you guys think that a 92 hood could fit on a 91. Help would be greatly appreciated on this manner. Thanks

I have a TC spoiler carbon fiber hood and they sent it to me scratched to fuck! I installed it in the dark and drilled the hoodpins before I looked at it under a real close inspection so I cant send it back. I think the scratches may be under or very deep in the clear coat because I am a detailer and I buffed and compounded the shit out of it and its still there. Looks like only wet sanding will get it out....
Also TC spolier CF has no hood latch just so you know...

i have a tc spoiler hood too. it's not that good quality because the edges are rough. also the underside of the hood is not finished - it was like all scratched under the hood.

So does anyone else make a cf hood for the 90-91, since tcspoiler's hoods are obviously not that great?

other than looking like a riceboi whats the point of a CF hood?
oh yeah it saves 10lbs on a car that weighs 3600lbs with driver and gas so its 3590lbs so that like what knocking 0.01off in the 1/4 :ghey:
no thanks i'll stick with my stock custom vented hood :D

To some people saving every pound possible is worth it. Like they say it is easier to shave 1 pound off of 100 places than it is to shave 100 pounds off of one place.

unfortunately, i think tc spoiler is the only company that makes CF hoods for the 90-91 E/T/L. i've done plenty of searching before i finally found the hood from TCS.

I remember a GB from Magnus Motorsports awhile back on the 90-91 hoods. Did'nt consider one then.
I sent them an email recently if they'd do it again so will post their answer.
Though looking at the pic of the 90.. seems you'd prol want to get some CF Vinal grafix to cover the headlights.

I may be possibly doing a group by for 1g carbon fiber hoods with LATCHES direct bolt on...very good quality painted undersides.. this a new company here in canada...the hood would probly go for around 400 if I can get 10 or more orders
As for details the all hoods have factory latches and mounting holes.
These hoods are perfect install.
There very nicely made. fiberglass and carbon frame work.
Holes for your nossles can be made on your own
Colors are available in red, blue, grey and black weave.
Different colors go for an extra 130 bucks.
I have pics let me know what u think

By 1G I assume 90-91? The pics are not 90-91.. but am guessing they are for illustration purposes only of the workmanship.
Pseidon
12-18-2002, 03:24 PM
yup 90-91 first if it goes over I will go to the 92-94 then maybe 2gs but not sure...
that is pics of the workmanship not the actual hood of a pop up...

Will it look like the stock hoods or will there be some vents or something? Also what about the popup covers??? I'll be interested if the popup covers could be done as well.
Pseidon
12-19-2002, 01:49 PM

Do you guys think the carbon fiber hood would look weird on a black car? My concern is that it will be 2 shades of black, and they wouldn't really match.. Has anyone seen one on a black car??

It wouldn't look bad it's carbon fiber. It has a built in cool factor.
