Carbon Creations® - CV-X Style Carbon Fiber Hood

I bought mine about a month ago and not only is it much lighter,it looks absolutely killer even from a far away glance. Also keeps my ait down, helped it get down about 70 degrees at first,used to run around 154 then after this was installed they became around 80s. The highest temp ive ever seen it get up to is 120 and that was on a really hot day so still dropped the temperature down 30 which is great.

I ABSOLUTELY love how this hood looks on my car. People stop me to ask where I got it all the time. The weave isn't 100% perfect if you're really picky, but it's good enough for me. No regrets.

Installation required some professional help but the end result is worth it. I added hood pins and they look cool too.

Hood looks awesome. The weight savings are no joke. Lifting the old hood was a workout, this one barely weighs anything

Great addition to my 2016 Corolla s Plus. The under side of the hood looks just like the OEM hood but made of fiberglass. Easy to install just 4 bolts, the hood has a hook just like the OEM so it closes and works with your Corollas hood release. No hood pins or additional installation work required. The ugly side is.. The hood doesn't have holes for rubber bumpers and has a little bit of up down play where the bumpers would hold it, and because of that it's not flush on front edge, the hood is almost 1/8" lower and inside of fenders shows. On the back of the hood near the rear corners the hood curves about 1/8" above the fender and comes back down at the rear corners. The hood doesn't have holes on the underside for the OEM window washers. The whole thing is slightly smaller in width than OEM so there is a larger gap between the hood and the fenders. Still looks great, worth it!

The hood came in a large box which protected the CF hood very well. The only downside to this is all the hood hardware and the location where the hardware is installed, for example," The windshield washer nozzle, the rubber molding located in the front, bottom of the OEM hood isn't drilled, and last but not least, you need to drill the holes where two of the latch are located, left and right side of the hood. You need a good eye to locate those holes so it would fit perfectly. I wish it was all pre-drilled so I could just attach all the hardware in a breeze.

Definitely fitting for my 2008 Gt. Looks great too.

DO NOT BUY THIS HOOD!! This hood needs hood pins, however, the universal length for hood pins are 4" and not long enough to exit the top of the hood to securely hold in place. The hood vents in either side are directly above major internal engine parts which would require covers to keep dry, unless you dont drive during rain. The under carriage of hood is very flimsy and poorly made. Vent screens are cheap plastic and held on with unsecured clips. The wrapping on the hood when delivered stuck to the edges of hood as if wrapped while still wet!! This hood is more problems than its worth, strongly advise looking elsewhere!!!

I have had this hood on my car for quite some time and I greatly enjoy it. It is really cool seeing the little heat waves coming out of the hood vents when you are stopped at a red light. Only problem I’ve had is mine came with a little chip. But I wasn’t too worried about it as it was going on my daily driver. For a hood prop I just bought a retractable one that I keep in my trunk for when I need it. Oh and be gentle with the gel layer, it is very prone to getting scratches.

I'd have to say I had a pretty poor experience so far. I received my hood. Didn't fit right at all. I called and asked for a replacement and they had agreed. I asked if I was able to drive with it until I got the return label bc my stock hood got sandwiched in an accident. I was told that was ok. I finally get my car back and the first day I drive the hood separates while driving. I contacted them immediately and I was told there's nothing I can do so I'm out 1300 to have a hood on for a singular day. Can't say I'm pleased at all.
