Hey guys!

I was thinking about getting this hood.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...em=120161243887

I know it has some damage but I was thinking if it was repairable it would be fine. If I couldn't get it right I wouldn't mind having to bondo and paint it either.

I asked the guy how bad it was and if it is just the clear coat or is the carbon fiber actually cracked and I am waiting for a response because his pick of the damage wasn't very good.


Am I wasting my time with it, is it worth it?

 

seems fairly cheap. If you aren't looking for show quality and you trust the fitment to be exact, go for it.

I don't think you'll be able to repair it. If you do, the time you spend on it, I'd pay a little more and get the real thing from elsewhere. Blacktibs just posted a new FlyRyde hood for our cars that looks better.

 

it says 2000-2002 tiburon..

 

yes it does.

one of the things you should always be careful to notice. The sellers don't know crap about our cars. Do you trust them?

 

Dude, I would seriously hop all over that. That scratch is nothing that some good wax won't cover up at least 80%. It looks good dude. I would get it, who cares about a single little scratch? Buff it up, reclearcoat it, whatever... It's still cheaper then $400 before shipping for a new one.

Fitment is the only question. I've seen that style before. I havn't heard any complaints. Is it origonal or a knockoff of the hood?

 

^^^ He says its a real VIS hood.

Not really into the show quality of it I mostly want it for the weight reduction and the vent in it but I don't want a big crack in it either.

I saw those hoods from flyrides it is nicer yes and not a bad price but I need a hood now and my budget doesn't include a 550.00 hood.

Yeah I saw that 2000-2002. No I DON'T trust ebay sellers no matter what it is. But I think this guy might just no know that much about a Tib because its probably no something he sells alot of.

I got a price on a replacement hood and it was about 225.00 then to paint it would be about another 150-200.00 So I am close to a CF hood now.

I just got a price from TRT Autotech in NY For 550.00 shipped for a VIS CF Guaranteed fit and finish or money back or replacement. he also has cheaper hoods but they are as is no returns.

BTW check them out I think he told me he has the turbo and super charger kits for the tib as well.

 

DUDE go for it! Got mine off Ebay and the desciption said 2000-03 so there ya go. The chip looks very small.

i have this hood and paid 400 i think and eneded up with a chip just like that 1 month later from a rock so your damned if ya do and damned if ya don't.

 

ask him what his minimum price is. i never bid on ebay.

 

go for it if its what you want. DTN, you need a cf hood. lol that one doesnt look bad and would be more affordable. The evo hood that chris finished looks sooo hot though

 

Be one of the first few to get a new FlyRyde EVo RD2 hood fing02.gif
