I need opinions...SOON!

Okay... So question for you all...

Those who currently already make Carbon Fiber OEM hoods for the Aveo tell me that no one orders them, and that is why they won't make other parts as well.

So why would I get ANOTHER version of an OEM hood produced, just to compete with the other companies already sitting on their inventory?

I have been trying to sell my Carbon OEM style hood for months, but no one wants to take the effort to pick it up AND pay for it.



Anyways, I'm working with another Arizona Aveo owner now on getting an SS style hood made, then we'll send it out for production.

well, 450-550 bucks shipped is a lot of damn money for an oem carbon fiber hood.

If I was anywhere near AZ, I'd take it. I still prefer scoops/vents than OEM though.

and you guys are either in my situation, or not serious to get stuff started with the aveo at all. only a few of us actually see a vision for this car.

And its either the same or more for a carbon fiber hood for a mass produced car such as the civic so theres nothing to complain about. Im not really interested in a CF hood because it doesn't have any performance benefits except shaving a few pounds off which really doesn't matter much unless you do it for the whole car, and I dont like the look of CF very much. We need to find aveo owners that are willing to dump money into the car...south america seems to have a ton, I was on cardomain last night and saw a turbo aveo from south america, and lots more were really customized and looked pretty good.

Okay...so Last Wednesday we (another Aveo owner and I) spent a few hours tearing apart a carbon fiber hood...to steall the SS scoop top skin off it.

I'll upload some pictures later, but this week I'm hoping to get the skin finished and ready to ship.

Aveo SS hood soon to be available!!!


Price so far is said to be at $395 in fiberglass, and shipping is freight collect (meaning you only pay what the actual freight charge is, when the part arrives).

Who would be interested?

Who would be interested?

I'd have to see pics first. I know that the Aveo would probably be demolished in pretty much anything worse than a fender-bender, but is a fiberglass hood all that safe? CF is really strong, so I wouldn't worry in that case, but anyone know how FG does in crashes?
