Very neat hood. It would be really cool to see a GT converted to all CF and left bare like some of the bare CF Zondas. The rear "clam shell" would also be cool in CF and take out alot of weight.

They saw you coming, it was actually a 3M CF look-alike graphic applied just moments before you walked down the aisle. :rofl

Seriously, 3M has been quietly doing some serious application acquisitions -- bolstering lack of internal product creativity/execution??

Damn... fooled me, but so did some of the wheels that I saw that had a CF look to them. I like that, wonder if Mrs. Bony would let me do the walls of the love chamber:banana:eek:banana

Bony, I think you would have a very hard time convincing a gynecologist to perform a carbon fiber implant. Don't you think that would be a little too inflexible?

I don't need an implant, I have the pump..
Big giant 25000 gpm compressor, sucker is parked out in the driveway. 110 feet of 2" airline runs up to the 'love chamber' :)
Of course the compressor runs a big Ford 6Litre Diesel... Blue Oval all the way :)

That's awesome. Weight difference?

The Stock hood weighs in at around 24 lbs. This CF hood weighs 13 lbs. Resin thickness will cause slight weight variations, but It's amazing how something this large can be so light !!

Bony is right -- don't let Frank get to you. He'll probably paint the darn thing red anyways. I would love to take a look at that cf piece. Let me know when you have some time.

Mark we need to get your back better and another gt

That would look pimp on a black car. Yet another reason I have to buy a black one next time. :biggrin
Mark We miss you on drives. I hope you back gets better soon so you can get another gt black this time with lots of carbon fiber. :cheers

I wonder how it would look on a black car with just the silver stripes painted on it?

I am with DBK how many pounds do you think it saved. Or if half....can you weigh the stock peice?
