The only carbon fiber hoods that I know of are the cowl hoods and they are no longer produced

Tim has one. I remember he told me that long time ago there was a group buy and some dude bought it but then wrecked the Alero before receiving the hood. So his parents sold it for very cheap. Tim got lucky on that one.

I know reddog has a carbon fiber cowl hood from aleroed04's part out if I remember correctly. Someone else posted about this a while back, cf your going to have to custom make.

IIRC there was only 9 cowl hoods in that group buy, 6 were all fiberglass and 3 were fiberglass frame with a CF skin.
This hood is no longer being produced. The group buy didn't go very well

Besdies, my CF hood is made of carbon fiber. It sounds like you are talking about a sticker

 Yes, it is rice....but he's sad he doesn't have a real CF hood like us so lets not be too mean  BTW Ken did u have to put some washers between the hinge and the hood for it to sit level with the fender? Wondering if all the cf hoods were like that

There were a limited number of OEM style carbon fiber hoods produced a LONG time ago. I have one in the attic.

Actually if you recall, I have owned two different Cowl CF hoods, I also had the Stock hood with the custom heat extractors in it at one time and if you count all the oem hoods from 4 different aleros I've owned, the hood count is somewhere around 11.

Really for both of you, it is a race weight (think <5lbs) pin on only type hood. The corners are a little damaged as well, so if I plan on using it again it will get glassed on the corners and painted solid. I just wanted the CF for the weight. |
