RE: Looking to have a hood fabricated

Thats it! I want it.
I really hope there is somebody that can make it because that is it.
Keep me posted if you find any info on that company or any others that are fabing them.
Thanks

fang performance is making an amazing hood, ram air function. I called them up to ask about pricing and they told me roughly 1200!!! for a hood! wow, it also comes with a fascia extension, but there hood is very kick ***. Supposedly sum people stole it and they are remaking it, it will be ready for marketing in about a 3 weeks to a month.

I found the one I was talking about... and I knew about that one but I hear its a pain to install plus you have to extend the area in front of the hood and stuff.. if youre looking for a direct replacement that looks like the older ones, I think this is the way to go.

Its made by the Dream Car Factory at www.dreamcarfactory.com but their site is down at the moment for some reason... it was up about a week ago so Im not sure [&:]

I like that one as well! But Bl's comments on the fab work needed is a bit discouraging; who sells this one?
Thanks again!

Sounds expensive, but I'll look into it.
Thanks!

If you want a fabricated hood built to your own specification, I would suggest using the all aluminum hood you have now and contacting a fabricator on this list:

Yeah I have no idea how to get into contact with the DCF anymore, I can try and find some numbers for you because Im interested in one of their pieces as well, so I really hope they arent out of business for good.

Yeah, let me know if you make contact, I'll try to do some research as well. Hopefully if we do locate them they can offer a group buy or something. Thanks again.

Update: I ran a search and came upon this as their address and phone nuber, I tried calling and they apparently did sell out or something; it performance motors now.

RE: Looking to have a hood fabricated

Here's the Fang Performance Shelby style hood. It adds the extensions to the quarter panels to give a more sharkmouth look.

I think I might like the hood a little better if it wasnt for that extension bs... Just doesnt look good IMO. I think what they tried to do was bring the hood out to the same distance as the bumper... I wonder what it looks like from the side?

Ah I see it... I never saw the second pic you posted, only the first one. Eh.. I dont really like it, that is what they tried to do though, bring the hoods top edge out to be in line with the bumper. [&:] I still like the dream car factory one better... and I really hope they arent like, totally out of business and parts...
