Randar is making CF Hoods
 

Very nice looking and only $300 Click Here

Yeah, I saw that, too. I hope they will include later year VWs -- especially Supers -- in the future. Sure looks nice.

plus, how can you go wrong for only $300? :agree: :eek:

(sh-sh-sh-sh ... I know ...) :laugh:

What does the stock hood weight, mine doesn't feel that heavy.

Will that work on my 1969 if I weld on the front panel for the earlier beetle.??

yes, if you change the front apron

This is really a great deal.
M.

i saw that too.

pretty good deal.

hmmm...CF hood for the '52 splitty??

That is a good deal, he also makes C/F decklids, just look at his other adds

Might be time to order some more body parts. ;) :rolleyes:

i would like to know the weight difference. anyone in a position to weight a stock hood?

If it stops raining at my house I will push the car outside to get the hood out and weigh it on my scale.

I don't think it will weigh anymore than 20 lbs.

It looks like you have to cut out the vents though. I looked at the pictures and you can see the indentations for the vents but they are not there.

and carbon joe makes some nice ones too. ;)

weigh your decklid while you are at it, BG. joe, have you weighed your c/f decklid?

Zen, I think joe said the street version weighed around 3lbs and the race version was like a 1.5lbs

yea, that sounds right. i remember hearing that now. just have to figure out how i want to mount it now.

Zen,
I forgot to weigh it before I shipped out to you but I know the box weighed about twice as much the the lid did. If you get a chance post a pic of it.

Can't wait for mine Joe! :)

300 usd ?, if you guys say its cheap it must be :P but my 72 SB cost me 250 usd in pesos wich where 13k Dominican Pesos, so i would have a hood thats worth more than the car, and some ricer will probably steal it to put it on his honda just to say he has a CF hood :)

its cheap compared to the Remelle CF hood for over $800.

well a civic took its revenge on my, now i have this huge dent on my 72 SB,
any one knows any good sites that sell the CF hood for a 72 SB ?

See Post #l of this thread.

isent that for a standard bug ???
