The only problem with it is, in case of an accident, the hood doesn't cruble the way it should. Since the support beams have been cut.

But, that's the downside. The upside is: If you like this sort of thing, you can do it yourself, or get it done relitively cheap.

But in my eyes nothing beats a carbon fibre hood.

Hi there..
you really need to take into consideration the money we are talking about here aswell.

Thses pics are of my own car - i made the scoope about 14 months ago with fine results - since i had never before done such a thing with a velder.
(well i have, but only much smaller scoopes)

a CF hood is totally illegal in most countries - since it will (like Ivan says)
not bend like an metal-hood.

CF will crack & split like plexiglas in case of a crash.

this modefication did cot me abou 15 Euro´s in total.

A Levin CF hood (real CF) cost atleast 400E + shipping.

I´m sorry sir, your planet has been sceduled for destruction
