Default hood options

well Ive been looking for a diffrent hood for my car, I have considered the CF one but since I am not a big fan off hood pins I guess thats out of the question, I was wondering what diffrent options we have for the car, I know of the vielside hood, it looks nice but that scoop is soooo fake, is there any others, if so please post some pics since I dont think this was actually dicussed before

Theres got to be a carbon fiber hood where u can use all the stock brackets and not use hood pins, if not how bout getting custom louvers put on the stock hood? Ive seen that on a GS before, looked tight!

This is what I want! It would be a cheap option too.

Thanks for the complements, but neither of my 2 Lexus cars have carbon fiber or custom hoods on them. They are both stock hoods.

There used to be a carbon fiber hood available through GT Autosports. Call Dave up & tell him I referred you. A real nice guy to deal with despite what some have said on this Forum.

Later!

On that page they spelled your name wrong, it says Martin.
And a quick question, if you work for Swift Racing, how come your car isnt fitted with any Swift products???

Yes. That's what I've been trying to say. That is Kraft's car done by Bruce. Nothing in relation to SRT. Hope that clears the air.
