Poll... Who wants a Carbon fibre hood.

**cam22t** · 8-28-05, 5:10

Please vote once if you WANT a carbon fibre hood.
The purpose of this poll is to get the prices down to about 650 a bonnet.

I am assuming all GE's have the same bonnet.

EDIT

THE POLL TALLY HAS BEEN CORRECTED BUT THE NAMES OF SKIP IN A 6 AND MAZDA MAYHEM CANT BE REMOVED FROM THE LIST.

Fibreglass hoods can be done aswell and are cheaper than CF altho by the time u get them painted its around the same.

**SABBAi** · 8-31-05, 7:55

Fibreglass I thinks....

**NiN^_^NiN** · 8-31-05, 18:53

don't hold your breath nvrmnd

*sighs* ah well.. i will just have to wait then... if u were getting this done in sydney i would donate my bonnet... but yeah.. ah well..

**zorb_rules** · 9-3-05, 1:04

its not really the donation of the bonnets thats taking its time

cause Ive already offered to donate mine its the number of people vs cost and the time it takes the guy to make one I think Nin_nin said something like a week per bonnet or something...

**AusMX6** · 9-5-05, 22:46

1 week per bonnet when I spoke to him

Carbon Bonnet, black fibreglass spider, metal brackets for stock hinges and latch, also metal reinforced hole for the hood pin/stand.

This poll is for what I've just described - my next question - this is 100% stock yes? no [dizzle]y scoops etc - just wet look carbon fibre yes?

also wether the carbon fibre will wrap over the edges so you get a somewhat seamless look - rather than the cheap civic bonnets that are two halves laid together and cut out - they tend to have a horrible finish on the edges.

generally yes I'm in but I don't what to frig people around with saying yes then being unhappy with the answer to one of the questions and changing to a no -when they answer appear and if I'm happy then I'll click into the 'yes' for another 1st gen hood

**NiN^_^NiN** · 9-12-05, 5:07

thats why i've told people about the guy im not getting money for the hoods and i can't get a hood either im only letting u guys know of a guy who is willing to do it.

**AusMX6** · 9-16-05, 21:36

my vote makes 10 for the GD's

the chap says the edge will have a seamless appearance

now.... I voted a yes - but its still on the condition of a stock hood replacement - thats the case isn't it? no dicky vents etc

just a 100% original styled GD mx6 hood with wet look carbon fibre
do all the GD owners agree to this - or are we now gonna go through the crap of trying to get 10 people to agree on a variation which as we all know just won't happen on this forum?

I was hoping we could do a bonnet like the one cam posted up in the post. The one with a vent in the middle letting hot air from radiator out.

**AusMX6** · 9-17-05, 5:41

...and water in as well?

as I said though - this will tear apart if we start trying to agree...

**AusMX6** · 9-17-05, 5:47

...actually only 9 for GD's - skip_in_a_six voted yes...but he's a 2nd gen, wrong button click I'd say...

**NiN^_^NiN** · 9-18-05, 2:30

according to the guy he can mould the vent in after he has made the mould of the standard hood so you can have a vent and a stock without needing more than one stock mould.
