hi, i need some help here.. i just gor a vis razor carbon fiver hood. it comes with rain guards and everything.. i was thinking on takin out the rain guards so the air flow more (it has like 12 air vents) but im affraid of water getting in the engine. you guys think whater getting in the engine compartment is a problem? should i take the rain guards?
thanks.

 

wtf is carbon fiver?!

 

Don't take out the rain guards. They are there for a reason. The engine compartment probably breathes just fine without the extra 'speed holes'.

The need to breathe through hood scoops is mostly cosmetic in most cars, save for those with TMIC (e.g. STi).

 

five

 

The RX8's intake is through the nose, forward of the hood. Your idea would just get your engine wet.

 

^^lol....leave the guards in your "carbon fiber" hood...its there for a reason

 

I wonder if carbon fiver is cheaper than carbon fiber? I want a carvon fiber hood though

 

niner... talking on a walkie talkie?

 

I have a Carbon Fiber hood..... Carbon Four maybe? lol
I am just going with the flow lol. hahaha

This thread cracked me up.

 

i think carbon fiber sounds stranger than carbon fiver

 

That's how much it cost.

 

lol !! i just realized that i misspelled, i was @ work and because typed so fast i made a mistake.. is a CARBON FIBER HOOD.. lol jaja anyways i have a picture of my carbon fiber hood.
take a look what you guys think?

 

It's pretty hard to see with pictures taken at night-time, but from what I see, it looks pretty nice. I think it would look MUCH better if the front center bumber "lip" or whatever one wants to call it, the area between the headlights, were of the same material--that way it would flow a bit better stylistically. That's just my opinion/preference--I do think it looks great, especially with yellow as I'm a Steelers fan...

 

Thanks for the laughs.

 

Nope! He has Carbon Fever.

 

i c wut u did thar!

 

I'm de dummy, I miss spelled a wurd INN 1. of mi own post.
"hush" "hush"

 

bloody yanks, it's carbon fibre!

 

make sure to get the carbo fiver strakes. xdeed loves those alot

 

Ok, I SO don't understand the need for a CF hood. The aluminum one is pretty light and it fits good.

 

But you don't get the cool looking, non-functional mega air vents in the stock hood

 

there, i have the new pictures from the CARBON FIBER hood lol...
im still waitng for the rain guards from the company that i bought the hood they said that they will send them next week.. hopefully nothing happens to my car if water gets inside...

 

The fibre I had for dinner last night worked great this morning. No wind resistance, great aerodynamics, slipped through the wind like a rocket and no back splash.
I really feel better about Fibre now.

 

I just don't have the words to describe it.

 

Hmm, maybe I can help In my opinion the the Carbon 5r (fiver?) hood would look a bit better if it was painted to match the rest of the car. ?

Laters!
