I think all-carbon stuff would look cool on a 928 racecar.
A one-piece front end would be cool...
The dash is nice.

I just would probably not use it on a street car.

But thanks for sharing the pics!

Any noticable change in throttle response, with that intake setup?

It *looks* cool.

Just wondering if it actually seems any faster, or slower, or the same...

It seems that you kept the aluminum hood 'frame' and added the CF skin. Correct? How much weight savings are we talkin'? Or am I missing the aesthetic part?

Shows us more of that intake!!

What is the price on one of those dashes? That looks awsome, I might need one.

Did you lay that up yourself? Looks a bit wrinkly...

BC DAVIS,
throttle response seems the same but the filters are going to be moved to where the original brake vents were for more of a cold air intake.
Scott,
The hood was the first so more or less it was a prototype for fitment. The frame is fiberglass and the top is CF. Right now its at 13lbs which is still heavy but all CF hood is coming.
Micahael,
call John at carbon werks (213)247-0388
Sharkskin,
I didnt lay it up myself, its just the camera took a bad pic with the flash on the CF
