hey guys i just got a CF hood, that had airvents, now i was wondering when washing the car is there anything special i should do, will the soapy water do anything majorly harmfull to the engine bay? I do not have the waters shields or whut not.

ALso does anyone have pictures of painted Cf hoods? im trying to get design idea's. Thread links are fine, or other website links, you don't nessisarily have to post here as some of the 56kers, may have problems.
Thanx all

ok vents are cool, slight shower last night all good. still wouldliek to see pics of painted hoods htough

 

Although I don't have a CF hood, I believe some people have created a type of rain guard / rain run off that routes the water away from the engine.

 

yeah they made those, i didn't get them, eah.... but whut about a paint scheme? some of the weave isn't good, but i got it at a great price i was thinking about painting it the same as the rest of the car (sebring) but leaving the vent area's still CF, this would cover up any bad weave. My other option is to go with a flat black, to keep the color of the CF but still leave those vent area's open so see the weave. good idea or bad idea? should i just straight cover it with paint?

 

where did yours? I want one!

 

?? where did i get mine?? its a secret hahaha just call evolution, they can get some pretty fat CF hoods, that aren't as damaged as mine. Jeff, down there will be able to help you

 

SEn if you roll up to nobles tonight i may be there, you can take a look at mine to get some idea's i'd love to get some opinions on pain schemes

 

If it's not raining, I might head over in that direction.

 

sweet, come join the party hahaha, is it supposed to rain today? eah i don't care, gotta show off the new threads
