#CARBON FIBER HOOD VENT HOW TO#
Some customers do get creative and add their own diverters under the hood for a custom solution to the perceived problem, but you would have to figure out how to attach them and whether there's room under the hood in the first place. Should I be concerned about that? Will it be harmful to my vehicle if rain goes through those vents into my engine bay? Is there a way to protect against that from happening? A: Adding guards could potentially defeat the purpose of a vented hood, which is to help cool your engine bay. We always suggest buying hood pins when purchasing any light-weight hood for peace of mind you don't want any chance of your hood flying into your windshield while you're cruising along on the highway! Q: The hood I'm considering buying from Andy's is vented and has openings in it that appear to expose it to rain. If the carbon fiber hood does not come with a latch, hood pins are mandatory to be able to close your hood. (For anyone who really wants to paint a carbon hood, it is indeed possible since the clear coat finish responds well to primer.) Q: Do you have to buy hood pins if you buy a carbon fiber hood? A: Hood pins are not necessary when buying a carbon fiber hood if it comes with an OEM metal latch, but we do recommend them as a safety precaution. Because carbon hoods are made to be installed without painting, they are often a more affordable option than fiberglass or steel hoods after you account for the paint cost. The hood has a clear-coat finish and can literally be installed on your car out of the box.
In fact, for a lot of people the whole reason for buying a carbon hood is to get that new-age cutting edge race look. Q: Will I have to paint my carbon fiber hood when I receive it? A: No.
