Um that is a broad question there.

1. Are you talking about premade parts?

2. Are you talking about Carbon Fiber you can make stuff from?

Geminicomposites used to sell a few CF pieces for our Volvo's. However I don't think they produce them anymore not for some time.

I know the made the 850 and 1998-2000 70 series hoods for our Volvo's in Carbon Fiber. But I am pretty sure they don't make them anymore. Plus they might not be in business anymore after the airline industry has been buying up all the CF.

It all depends on what it is.

Good luck, they aren't made anymore and I don't even then GeminiComposites is still in business.

If you find one buy it because they are very rare.

So unless you want to have a real CF hood made and I know you do, but you wont want to pay the price it costs.

You'll end up spending over $3k to have a real CF hood made for you. $3k just for the mold to be made then for the product to be made.
