Do a search.

There have been several people with the CF cowl hood that have had delamination problems and have had the hood fly up while driving down the road. Some may say that hood-pins will solve this, but that is untrue. The hood pins will prevent the hood from flying up, but not from the delamination.

There have never been any lamination problems with the CincySHO hoods, reported on the forum.

I dont think there has been any of the hoods that delaminated that didn't flip up on the car. My hood looked exactly like all the others. The top and bottom seperated, yes, but only after it hit my windshield & roof line.

Not to mention Cincy hoods fit a lot better than the Carbon FX hoods.

 

[1993MTXSHO]

so the CF hoods separate just like the plus hoods did? Is there anything we can do to prevent it?

Wow you really need to work on your information. There have been only a few hoods that flipped. None have delaminated, and none have flipped or delaminated with hood pins.

I believe the hoods have flown up possibly due to install and how lite the hoods are, but I am unsure of as I have the first hood with no pins and I have not had any problems.

So don't go spreading stuff that isn't true. Yes hoods have flipped but none that have been pinned.

THANK YOU I now feel a lot better and will be able to sleep tonight.

EDIT: i think someone was thinking of a plus hood

I just wish there was a hood with a scoop instead of a cowl available. I know somebody is going to say i'm stupid but thats what I would love to see for my car. Nothing huge just the look i prefer.

I have an extra hood already though so im planning to work one up myself eventually.

 

[ultimatesho]

so running a cowl CF hood with pins there have been no majior problems report as of yet???? aside from that IMHO anyone putting a fiber glass or CF hood on without pins is just asking for trouble.....not to mention it dont look as good

 

[SeanMc]

I plan on one, and having it painted.

 

[ultimatesho]

my fiance is getting me mine for my b-day........just wanted to make sure there were no issues as of yet with them tho
