        Element6: GB carbon fiber hood

        Regretfully, Element 6 will be inactive until november due to product and show preparations. However, we look forward to becoming active once everything has been squared away. Look forward to an updated website w/ a new layout, new pictures, more products, and a message board to discuss E6 present and future products.

        Discounts will still remain open for board memebers. Just email your request to info@e6designs.com.

        We would like to entertain a GB for our carbon fiber hoods. the hoods will take approx 1 wk to build. They can be ordered customed to your preference. for instance, you can order a hood w/ only 4 layers of cf to produce a lighter hood that still is very strong.

        you can order the hood w/out the scoop, w/out the naca ducts, ect.. We will do our best to accompany your needs.

        below is a brief description of the hoods characteristics:

        this hood is made of 5 layers of carbon fiber w/ epoxy resin. sandwhiched in between is nomax honeycomb core. the mounts, latches, and bolts are all aerospace grade. It undergoes 3 stages of oven cure. the hood will come w/ a spec sheet. Kind of like a born on date which give the specifics and origins of every part on that car. Basically, if we built this piece for an airline, they would take it in a second. This hood weighs 8.5lbs. (you can order this hood w/ only 4 layers of cf, and it will weigh approx~6lbs.)

        as for the scoop in the center, it serves two purposes. the first, a different, unique look that in our opinion shows aggressiveness. Second, and most importantly, through the consultation of a few motorsport teams, we have placed that scoop there for an intake system designed to replicate the F1 race cars. instead of having two intakes split off into the sides, we have built one that rest right ontop of the engine. the airbox will sit flush against the hood. this designs is still in the prototype/testing phase.

        those vents you see on the side are for air flow. Inside them will sit two flush NACA ducts which split the air and create rapid air flow into the engine bay. They can be replaced by two flush base plates in times of bad weather, or if you simply dont want to use them. These are options for the hood which serve your aftermarket intake system, as you can order the hood w/out the cutouts to have one flush hood for stock applications/personal preference.

        another option is a silver film on the underside of the hood, which is an aerospace heat deflecting film. to put it simply, its kind of like kevlar, that is baked into the carbon fiber. this is also an option for the hoods.

        If you have any other questions, you can reach us instantly via AIM at element6designs, or email us at sales@e6designs.com.

        Hoods will range anywhere from ~$2k-~2400.usd. MSRP.
        Depending on the amount of buyers, the cost of this hood could drop to as low as ~$1600-$1800.00usd. all of which depends on the options you would like to order. No other hood on the market compares to the quality of our hoods. We guarantee it!







        DEADLINE FOR ORDERS ON GB DISCOUNTS FOR THE HOOD WILL BE OCT.1ST.
