Gts style hood with glass

Clinton1009 · 04-12-2021, 12:08 PM

Does anyone know if another manufacturer besides Darwin Pro makes a GTS style hood that has the glass in it? Darwin is out 4-5 months.

Carbon fiber glass? What?

There is a cut out in the center for glass so you can see the motor.

That is so freaking hokey

My mama told me if I don't have anything nice to say then don't say it - so I'm just going to recommend you get a CS hood..

diesel733 · 04-12-2021, 08:24 PM

Yes it looks weird cause the engine cover should be where the glass is (centered) and not to the side.

Interesting
Buddy of mine has that hood on an m4 convertible.

why would anyone need this for a regular car unless is a show car or garage queen.. first thing people to see what's inside your hood to give them ideas on how to steal your stuff.

Jason60051 · 04-14-2021, 03:50 PM

I thought the zr1 hood was bad...this is just awful. Being able to see the black plumbing looks very tacky.

Doesn't the glass negate the weight savings of the carbon fiber hood? All you see is the plastic cover and the airbox. Seems like a weird flex.

Weird, and extremely gross flex. So many better things to throw money at for these cars.

Alas, to each their own, I suppose.

TouringM3 · 04-15-2021, 05:02 PM

Honestly, this looks like the Corvette ZR1 factory hood. This is an observation, and not a diss.

Personally, don't let ANYONE tell you what to do with your car. If you like it and you want it, rock it with your chin up and sunnies on my friend.

Diversity makes the world beautiful, and i'd love to see this thing at a car meet sometime if you go for it.

NickyC · 04-15-2021, 05:43 PM

No V12, no glass.

This forum cracks me up.

Who tf cares? It's your car. Your taste. Do what you want. It's a unique look

The car owner cares, otherwise they wouldn't be making visually striking mods. As ego driven creatures, we chose not to care when we get a reaction we don't want. It's human nature. Can we really blame people for being honest about how they feel? You have to be able to take the good with the bad if you want to put yourself out there.

Imagine being enabled by everyone around us whenever we indulge ourselves. That's how we get entitled YouTube stars. I think this world needs more people being honest.

But OP is not asking for validation on whether or not this type of hood looks good; simply asking for another supplier. They've made up their mind, let them build their car as they please

Just no.

Never understood that either. It’s unreal.

We are free to mod as we please but we aren't free to have opinions? Seems contradictory to the idea of freedom.

Even if other don't like it, I don't see anyone in this thread forbidding the OP from getting one.

There's a difference between freedom of speech and just being an asshole thats contributing no relevant information to the topic of discussion because they're self-entitled enough to think their opinion matters
