So when you made the roof, what did you put on the existing hood to protect when you formed the CF, or did you just spray it with a mold release? Also, how many layers of CF did you use? I am asking because I want to try making my own CF hood, but I am not sure what would be the best way to make the mold. ---

[/quote] there is NO reason to make a CF hood for a 240, they are so many hoods out there that are cheap its not even funny… the amount of tooling and stuff to make ahood will make your entire project 2-3x more expensive then most hoods…and the premade hoods will look better so wait josh, u made your OWN cf roof? we may have to talk ---

I failed to address all the previous questions/comments with my last post. First, I DID NOT MAKE THIS ROOF. It was in my original plans, but because of the extreme shortage of CF around the world (being used for aerospace purposes), getting a hold of larger raw cloth is nearly impossible. Go to any online CF store and you’ll see they are out of stock on everything. This being said, whatever i could get ahold of was to be $$$$. So, i purchased the roof from a company out in Germany. They’re made to order and i requested the plain weave as shown. Since we’re having a bit of a warm spell, i may be mounting the roof this week. [quote=“87FOXGT,post:169,topic:22396"”] phase 3 is strawberry flavored CF dildo that pops out of the headrest in front of the driver [/quote] it would be rather inconvienent to have something like that pop out of the headrest don’t you think? Did you mean seat bottom? ---
