Carbon Fiber hoods

Hammy1105 · Oct 15, 2006

Anyone know where to find a good carbon fiber hood? I've seen some ok ones here http://www.andysautosport.com/ford/1998_9999_contour/exterior/hoods/carbon_fiber_hoods/ but would be interested in some other styles if there are any available.

IIRC, AAS is no longer carrying parts for the Contour. Anyone feel free to correct me if I am mistaken!

You'll pretty much just have to wait for someone to sell one, so constantly check the classifieds and ebay.

There are options on ebay as we speak! search contour in the ebay motors section, it won't come up under svt if I remember correctly.

Hammy1105 · Oct 16, 2006

Just talked to someone at AAS and they still make the body kit and sell the hoods as well.

here is the ebay hood : http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/FORD...013QQitemZ230037674726QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW

it's about $350.00 not sure how good of a hood it is though...

Idiot has no idea what fits what years. "fits 95-2000" It irritates me to no end when a seller doesn't even research what he's selling. :nonono:

Yea I already saw that hood, it wont fit post 98 tours and I dont really want a plain cf hood.

If I knew the quality, i'd buy it.

IRingTwyce · Oct 18, 2006

Maybe you could find out where he's located, then see if there is a CEGer nearby that could check it out for you.

Damien · Oct 18, 2006

Yup that would be the way to go. We all have to stick together ya know?

Someone on here bought one from them when they were still being sold for 500 bucks. He had nothing but good things to say. You'd have to look on the old forums for his comments.

IRingTwyce · Oct 18, 2006

If you have a pre-98, it would appear that zxtuner.com still carries CF and fiberglass hoods. Still listed on the website. I think the CF is around $450 shipped.

Jason43 · Oct 18, 2006

There are several sites that still carry the pre98. Just google contour carbon fiber hood and they'll pop up.

hey, on the subject, is the only type the contour hoods are made in is fiberglass and carbon fiber? i like the looks but dont want to risk the durability for it.

what's wrong with durability?

chrisl311 · Oct 21, 2006

the cracking issue of those materials vs a urethane hood.

LOUDSHO92 · Oct 26, 2006

I work with SHOBros Garage. I helped to have the SHO hoods made. We can have hoods made for the the Contour if we can get 10 poeple and a donated hood that will be returned. I also need a tester in CA.
