Does anyone know where I can get a Carbon Fiber hood for my 98 s70? I would also like to get interior carbon fiber parts for my car eventually.

1. Welcome

2. CF anything for your Volvo is going to be hard to find.

3. Gemini Composites used to sell the CF hoods, but I do believe they went out of business awhile ago. Now last I looked their website was still up. But I don't know if they are producing CF anything anymore... Check them out.

Try contacting these people see if they can make you something for your interior.

After I find somewhere to get a hood made I want to get all of the dark gray pieces in my car switched over to CF. Once I do that I am going to get all of the tan changed to dark gray. I found some laminate fake CF at a local auto parts store but I would prefer the real thing.

Whoever you find to make you a hood you'll be lucky. It will be a one off piece and it will be very pricey. My guess it's going to be at least a grand just to make the mold then another grand or two to make the hood.

Probably cost you a small fortune for all the pieces that you want remade, but post some pics after you do it.
