Everything Hood - The Ford Focus Forum

**JFord** · 09-02-2006, 07:39 PM

My definition system goes like this
Model Name/Material/Functional-Not-Not available(no scoop)
ALL hoods, scoops and vents can be made functional for the most part but the status is dependant on the way it comes from the manufacturer. I will also include where you can buy it or find more info....
If someone is not happy their car is being used let me know it will be removed....
All hoods from 00-04 are the same regardless of model.
All hoods from 05+ are the same regardless of model.
On all CF hoods listed there will be a gel type coat over the raw carbon fiber this is meant to protect the carbon fiber from fading. Sadly on lower quality hoods the gel coat it's self will yellow and may even fade the cf a bit. Fitment should also be in your bag of concerns. Some hoods are known to not fit as well as others. Additionally some companys actually test fit there hoods on a Ford Focus. A few will offer gaurentees on their quality.

Alot of good this sticky does, when your website has "sex" as a keyword and will pretty much be blocked by any corporate filter

Can I ask what the point of this was? Was this to show all the styles of hoods or all the actual hood options?

Because if it's the hood options your missing a quite a few.
STreetStyler has one, Siebon has a few, Fiber Images, CarbonFiberFx, CarbonCreations etc...

**Azwethinkweiz** · 10-10-2006, 12:59 PM

I noticed there were quite a few that werent listed, which is why I left it open. I've been meaning to add quite a few and refine it but just haven't had time to sit down and do it.

I plan on making my own with a list of manufacturers of OEM stye hoods (seibon, vis, carbonfiberfx, carboncreations fiber images, etc) and a setup for vented hoods(Kaminari, Focus Central, VIS invader, Seibon evo style, APC dual vented, the Zxtuning.com invader style for the 05's etc) and any other custom job or fiberglass option (Cervinis, Goodhood, Focus Central etc) out there but haven't gotten around to it. I have tomorrow off so ill probably do it then. He did a great job so far tho.

Why not provide a link to replace the ones filtered and help everyone out?
Just like the everything spoiler if the community offers assistance it goes even smoother. I am one man. I was looking at replacing my hood and I ended up throwing a list together. Here it is.....
This was to offer the hood styles. Note how it says multiple OEM styles available from multi manufacturers? Prices are constantly changing and manufacturers are dropping hoods left and right to adjust this thread as that happens would be a pain.
For Example: CFX was rebadged gemini. CFX no longer carries our hood.

**hotfocus** · 10-10-2006, 03:29 PM

anybody know a place that sale WRC Vents. only place i could found dont ship out the UK.

Or how about host them on a non-porn related site if you mean them to be accessible for everyone.

I'm not knocking your effort, my question about the "intention" of this thread was just an honest question, I didn't know what your intention was.

And CFX does carry our hood

Bummer... the CFX hood is beautiful.

As for the website, your website is using the keyword "sex", and is being filtered by corporate sites so us working peeps can't see anything your linking to.

I am trying to get your a screen print, but its pretty simple. It recognizes the keyword "sex".

And this isn't really off topic, it's a good thread and a good idea, but if people cant' see it, then what use is it? I'm not trying to knock the guy, I think it's great when people put for this effort to help, just letting him know that not everything is working.

**JFord** · 10-10-2006, 08:35 PM

Agreed back on course, bela is just giving me a good notice although the only site I used consistently was the FJ focus gallery (Made by Ataru).
Also IMO info on the CFX I think is valuable to folks, I spent a good 30-40 min sitting on the phone in addition to return calls.

**deft spyder** · 10-13-2006, 04:45 AM

Just a heads up, the hood at importprecision.com you have listed is NOT a VIS, it is made by Import Precision. It is made in house in the USA with all USA materials, and 4 layers of DUPONT clear coat; it is not the typical fitment with imported Chinese hoods.
