I ordered one for my car just waiting for it to come in. But it is only the oem style. are there any other hood designs out there in carbon fiber. i had to get a hood though, damn brakes locked up and caused a accident, to many details, no mech damage though just messed the hood up and dented a fender, bent the radiator support to but figured if i was going to buy parts might as well buy cool stuff for better looks but cannot find headlights either, and just found the turns but too late.
There is another hood design in the works... wait a few months and it'll be available at a very affordable price.
:D
nice are you working on some hoods mr. raven, dont forget the sedan guys :lol:
I didn't forget you...These new hoods will fit ALL Aveo from 2004-2007 Hatch, and same generation sedan 2004-2005.
As far as youguys with the Gen. 2 Aveo...I don't have the original stuff to work on aftermarket parts, all I got is an 04 Hatch, so that is what I mainly work for.
damit so you did forget me :( lol.
cant wait to see your stuff
Send us a stock hood and we will make one how you want...
lol shipping on that would be killer...
We are searching around for an 07 in the junkyard we can pull parts off of to start on. It's hard when everyone that is willing to be a test car is an 04-06... no 07s in the Tulsa area it seems... not many 04-06s either...
we will keep an eye aout for parts.
i got word today that the company i ordered my CF hood from no longer makes it for the aveo. the company doing my work for me said they are now fighting with the company to refund all the money and im stuck with a steel hood. I believe it was slick car i ordered from. are there any companies out there that have one for the aveo hatch mine is an 06

u pretty much just gotta look around for one. i got mine off e-bay, but if there is nothing wrong with ur stock hood then u may as well keep it that way. there is not a hell of alot of weight difference and its mainly cosmetic looks ur gonna get out of it. (which holds true for any cf hood on any car i guess). just be happy with ur stocker.
i probably depends on the quality of stuff the company is using too though, and how heavy the stock hood is to begin with. i went to the corvette museum and they had a display of when the switched to carbon fiber hoods and there was like a 10lb difference.Quote:

i started this in the wrong category
but honestly, what is 10 lbs going to get you? its not goin to do much for ur car, which is the big misconception about cf hoods. you shaved 10 lbs-great! now u got a hella lot more work to do to reduce the weight of your car. if you buy it in conjunction with doin a weight redux, then it serves a great purpose, but if ur just buyin it to buy it then it serves no other purpose then looks.Quote:

pretty much you are going to have to do a bunch of other things for everything to serve a purpose.
I'll post the pic of us gutting Dan's interior when i get home tomorrow... sound deadening dry-iced off, paneling removed, we saved a good 30 lbs. in just sound deadening...
ya, i saw dans bare trunk and insides lol, not the prettiest, but i bet it helped a great deal. prolly saved urself maybe, half a sec on ur 1/4 mile time???
dunno, with only an intake exhaust and pulley we never went to have it tested... people laughed when I ran a 15.7 in my 4-banger probe (stock time 17.8) so we didn't bother taking the Aveo while he was here... he wanted to build more for autocross anyway...
Yeah, it would have been sweet to take it at least once to the drags thoughQuote:

I'm just a donor/designer, not the manufacturer. I'm trying to see if there will be enough orders to even do one for the 1st Gen. Aveo before I suggest jumping to the current 2nd Gens.Quote:

as soon as I can source a stock hood, will have a few different designs made up within a month or so...
