    Default looking to buy carbon fiber nb hood

    i was a idiot and had a little accident so my hood is bent up in the corner. I'm looking to buy a carbon fiber hood so i don't have to go to the trouble of painting it, or a twilight blue hood would be acceptable also

    I have an NB model and after lots of searching I had no luck finding any good fitment. Seibon looked good but has gaps I think are too big and, in Arlington I found a shop off pioneer that had several sources of CF hoods and was told to stay away from CF and look closely at the fiberglass hoods for warping cause it seems to be an issue. hope this helps.

    There are very few carbon fiber hoods for the nb, i think there are 2, the scoote 2 like i have now and a stock version from the same company.

    Isn't the NB hood aluminum? Thats likely the reason there are few CF options.

    it is, i just don't feel like spending 350 dollars on a hood then another 100$ to get it painted

    i found someone local with a cf hood for 175$ so theres no need to wrap it in ni-doc, but i might consider that for the new fender i have to get
