RE: Real Carbon Fiber Hood for Challenger
Drake Automotive Group will have a carbon fiber hood out this spring. They do not have any information on their website at this time. They are launching a new company this spring and they will have several parts available when they launch their new company. It is said that the carbon fiber hood is lighter than the box it ships in. Here are a few pictures of their prototype. It will list around $900.00. All of the carbon fiber pieces are a matte finish, although gloss will be available. They will have some other carbon fiber trim and facia parts.
To save money they will also offer a combination carbon fiber on the top and fiberglass on the bottom version.
They will also have a kit to add powered louvers in the air inlets of the hood. They will open as the gas pedal is depressed, much like the concept car had.
