OH Carbon Fiber Hood

Category: Exterior - Body Parts
Price: $50
Private or Vendor Listing: Private Listing
Part Fits (you may select multiples): Series I, Series II
Location (US State/Canada/Int): OH
Item Condition: Used

*used* carbon fiber hood. The hood has been painted black with clearcoat. The paint job is really nice. There are only a few small blemishes on the hood as the second picture illustrates. I am asking $75 "pick-up only". I sold my car and took this off. This is a really nice hood with excellent fitment. This came off my 2004 RX8.

Thanks,

John

Painting the hood kinda defeats the purpose of it being a CF hood no?

Not really. The main reason I chose CF is weight reduction. I am not a fan of the CF look, so I painted it gloss black.

CF is not much of a weight savings, if any.

It is not the factory brilliant black. Still I decided to go for the CF hood even if the weight difference is slim. The clear off the CF hood started coming off, so I figured I would paint it and re-clear the hood.

I wish I could. Just so difficult finding a box. Anything that you ship this big has a chance of damage as well. I'm trying to keep it cheap enough so someone will drive to get it.

$175!

I am looking into shipping this, but I would still prefer local pickup because of my work schedule.

BUMP!

Depends on far, it's about 250Miles from you. I believe you just have to take 64 to 77.
I would be all over this if it wasn't black (I'm going for CF look)

If I get it Im sanding it down and re clearing it. I dont get painting it black, thats what the cheap kids do to make it look like they have a CF hood. But for the price I dont mind sanding it back down to the original clear and reclearing it, maybe with a touch of my VR around the line of the rotary emblem might look good on it too IDK. been thinkin a lot of what to do with it if I get it. def interested in the factory car cover too tho, so the deal better be pretty damn good if Id have to drive a 500 mile round trip.

The car cover is "sold" by the way. The only item that will come with this deal is the hood.

I also don't consider myself a cheap kid and I decided to paint the hood black because I wanted to. I got a good deal on this hood so it was no loss for me. The paint job on this hood is really nice I think. I sold my car and now I want this gone. If you don't want it that is fine, but I think it is still a good deal for $100 for someone to pick this thing up.
