I just recieved my new J's racing Type V carbon fiber hood. I think it was clearcoated by J's but im not sure if thats good enough or if I should have my local body shop add a few more coats. I was quoted $200 my a local shop to clearcoat the hood.

what do you guys think?????????????????????????

 

Under the hood? .....

 

try the JDM forums, you will probably get better responses there

 

Moving to the JDM forum

 

any ideas guys???

 

I would like to know also

 

The clear coat on it from First Molding will suffice for several years. I had mine for over a year with no problems at all. That would be my last concern years down the line as the hood aged and got old, not brand new.

 

Thank you so much

 

No problem. I would check the hood in like 2-3 years. Also just keep an eye on it. Remember also, the higher you have a STB the higher your chances are of the STB warping and/or fading the clearcoat. The Js Type S started to do that after 2 years with the original Comptech STB.

 

I'm planning to put some heat mat around that area
