Hello All,I have a 2003 Coupe and I have some mods done to it already, but I was looking for a new hood. Wanted to get a silver carbon aka silver Kevlar hood. Problem is that I can't seem to find one anywhere, Found them in the obvious Black Carbon, Blue Kevlar & Red Kevlar, does any one know where I can find a silver one. Thanks

I believe you can get them painted, some might even do it for you if you ask them.

isn't kevlar different from carbon fibre as carbon fibre doesn't contain any nitogen when they are backed, but kevlar is aramid & flexible. do they bake kevlar, too?

I doubt any of the carbon fiber hoods you see out there are real carbon fiber(the correct term for this escapes me at the moment). They are generally fiberglass with a cosmetic carbon fiber.

Not sure where you can find a silver caron fiber look, but an option you can look into is to take the silver you want and have it thinned some to allow a small amount of transparency. It won't give you the look that colored fiber strands will, but may be an acceptable alternative if you are trying to get a silverish color.
