Spoonman Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 So, anyone know how much a genuine carbon/kevlar hood is? 15-20k? Depends on the vehicle I guess, if they already have a mould it would be cheaper than one they don't have for, either way you aint going to be getting a real Carbon/Kevlar bonnet for 15-20k, my guess would be double that at a minimum.

Spoonman Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Nice, thats Carbon Kevlar. Saw a car at C Cube yesterday that had the bonnet, wing mirrors and part of the large rear spoiler in this Carbon Kevlar it looked amazing. Yeah it looks awesome, would love to get my bonnet done...... Know of anyone in Pattaya doing it by chance ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No sorry its just a question of finding a graphics company but theydon't seem to understand the word graphics so best ask for a company that does car stickers.. not sure of warrenty but guess it would be 1 yr but then again this is Thailand!!! When I go to collect my car I will ask them if they know of a company in Pattaya Edited March 18, 2011 by kenny999 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarpSpeed Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Just found this image and is exactly the same as I will be getting.... It ain't going to be shiny like that though, that has a clear coat finish on it, seems to be a real carbon hood not a wrapped hood.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never a problem with he Renault Espace, main stream MPV covered in plastic dating back to 1984....... Post office van dating back to the early 60's had plastic wings. As WarpSpeed says most all cars for the past 20 odd years have plastic front and rear ends, some only bumpers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jebhead Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 http://www.lucky-speed.com/ This is in BKK, you would think there would be somewhere in Pattaya doing something similar, anyone have any idea? I hate the traffic in BKK!! JH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mostly posted that for the benefit of others clarification who haven't seen the two and have no comparison so they wouldn't be misled expecting something different and shiny.

Must confess l was thinking of the carbon variety. But how did you know it was carbon kevlar by just looking at it ?? Kevlar is also for strength it's x times stronger then steel.. That's "x" as in x not X as in "ten".. Edited March 21, 2011 by WarpSpeed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash999 Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 And what is the warranty on the wrap-it carbon/kevlar? Wrap-a-car guarantees theirs for 5 years. I had some bubbles on mine near the engine and they replaced it, no questions asked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
