Default Carbon Fiber Hood?

Hello, I have a 2001 volvo s40 and was wondering if anyone knows where I might be able to find a carbon fiber hood for my car. The previous owner got a cheep paint job and the hood is oxidizing, so I was hoping to find a carbon fiber hood rather than having to get the thing repainted.[:@]Thanks much for the help.

Matt

Good luck no one and I mean no one makes CF hoods for our cars. And the company that did make them only made the 850 and 70 series hoods in CF. But they no longer exist.

However you could find a place that deals with CF and have them make a mold and all that to get you one. But your going to spend a good $5k when things are all over with.

No mass produced though. Custom made by someone and the mold itsself will cost around $3k and then from there on out they can make as many as they need to.
