Hoods for the FB

Does anyone stateside make hoods for the FB? Or at least sell hoods? I might be in the market during the winter since mine has some rust in the support frame.

I was just throwing in a different option. If you are talking about Fibremaz, he does excellent work, but I'm not particularly hip on the whole carbon fiber thing, especially on old cars.

Me either. I like carbon fiber as a material, but I couldn't stand not having it painted.

Hi, yes can do, I won't be selling these out of the USA though. The OEM style hoods got me nowhere and cost me a lot of money
