I've been looking for a stock (no vents or scoops) carbon fiber hood to buy in the future with no luck...until now.

http://www.suprastore.com/cafihofor87s.html

anyone heard of this site or bought off of it?

and i've seen pics of the Turbo A's with a factory scoop in it... or was it not factory?

scoops are not factory. I think that is tozer's site. I might be wrong as I haven't paid attention in a while to who owns what store. I've heard bad things before on SF and SM about them.

Suprastore.com sucks. Tozer sucks. When Tozer owned it, they ripped me off $400 for an order that was never going to be delivered, along with dozens of other Supra owners they've ripped off previously. I was warned ahead of time but dealt with them anyway, my fault for not listening.

Although Titan Motorsports runs Suprastore now, so you might as well deal with Titan's website directly. They are better people to deal with, but they seem to miss a lot of orders placed online; at least the last 2 orders I've placed online with them during the last few months, I had to call them a couple of days after to make sure they saw the order because it was never processed. I suggest finding another company to order from, or if you go through Suprastore(Titan) speak directly to a Titan Motorsports rep on the phone or through emails.

well, that should say it all. So I was right...that was Tozer's site....I never met the guy, but everything I ever saw him post anywhere made him seem quite the dick. Oh well.

Why a carbon fiber hood anyway? Is your hood messed up? ...

***Razo-E*** · 06-25-2007, 02:17 AM

cause it looks nice and serves a purpose at the same time..

Wow. Mine weighed in at 3620. Ouch. :-X

willtotheumm · 06-26-2007, 01:35 PM

lol I need to weigh my Supe once it gets running. I want the CF hood bc of the looks and weigh savings. My hood has some small dent like things that I am gonna have one hell of a time fixing lol.

Shatonapples · 06-27-2007, 10:22 PM

I tell you what, it would make sense to me if your hood was ruined, AND you got some killer deal on the carbon fiber. Otherwise you're giving Toyota owners a bad name. Put carbon fiber on a Civic, everyone knows you're a ricer then.

**edit**
At least then you wouldn't be ruining a nice look'n car.

JZ TWINS · 06-27-2007, 10:35 PM

I also have not heard good things about Suprastore

supra saiyan · 06-28-2007, 11:35 PM

Wait, so carbon fiber is ricer now? Wow...why don't we call someone with an exhaust system a ricer, maybe anyone with anything that isn't stock.

And there really isn't a difference between Honda owners and Toyota owners. There are probably more properly built Hondas than Toyotas.
