Wasn't someone making these awhile back? I checked the search engine and nothing popped up.

Nothing would pop up because all the information from the previous forum is gone.

But here is what I dug up:

btw - Welcome to the site...again?

Silentalero 11-19-2003 04:37 PM

alerov6 11-19-2003 05:22 PM

customcargrills was making them but didnt really get a lot of orders, so he stopped making them

Oldsman 11-19-2003 09:35 PM

they are no longer being made. but customcar grilles could hook you up with his C/F guy probably if you really wanted one.

Silentalero 11-19-2003 10:03 PM

cost about $1000 or more though :(

99blackalero 11-19-2003 10:38 PM

fiestyalerogirl81 11-20-2003 01:04 PM

hmm carbon fiber hoods,,,,,wonder what justice that would do to the alero

flalero 11-20-2003 06:04 PM

^^^^ummm, lighten the car by about 30 to 40 lbs on the front end. Adding to better cornering and slightly quicker et's on the track.

Silentalero 11-20-2003 06:33 PM

plus they are more durable than standard hoods, and give a better look

yiddish has one

yiddishbdg 11-20-2003 09:19 PM

yes i do. i'll re post my pictures when i get some time. Actually, matt(3.4alero) has some pretty good pics of it from when we were auto-xing.

Silentalero 11-21-2003 08:56 AM

I gotta pic of a guy standing ona small piece of carbon fibre piece to...strong stuff

flalero 11-22-2003 03:49 PM

^^^depends on how good the carbon fiber is. Most of those hoods they sell for Hondas are just cheap look alikes. What do yo expect when you can buy one for like $300?

bdyman 11-23-2003 09:16 PM

good hand lade carbon fiber is stronger then steel
my dragster was all carbon fiber
and yes his car is sweet with that hood carbon fiber is the shiznit!!!!

I got a hold of customcargrills' carbon fiber guy months ago. I can't remember for sure but I think he quoted me $850.00. But you have to mount hood pins.

i still stick to my philosophy on c/f hoods


about $600-800 bucks to save 30lbs off teh front end?!?!?!

U can do that by eating at subway fora couplea months, and save a buncha cash :thumbsup:

Oldsman 11-30-2003 12:35 PM

the weight loos is good but would be better with other light weight items rather than alone.

AlbinoMonkeyRat 11-30-2003 04:30 PM

LOL @ Ski! Good point!

Might I add that AleroGreatOne has an awesome avatar! :lol:
