505's Custom XC RC Hood...

I just want to note here that Rich's hood is a custom order. I do not include the extra hi-temp resin and double carbon underside on regular orders. These types of orders must be discussed with me before placing the order and of course pricing will have to be determined on an individual basis. Thanks.
 
Sorry I meant to mention that in the post with the pics. Haha. Sounds more official coming from you anyway.
 
Forgot to mention that this hood is quite a bit lighter than the Wings West it replaced. I didn't weigh it before putting it on, but I do know that the WW is 16lbs. This one feels closer to 10 to me.

edit- Just noticed that the shipping weight with box was listed as 11lbs. :)
 
Before I sign off to go drive around aimlessly for awhile, I wanted to start some talk about proper care for the new hood. I was going to PM you about this Joe, but thought it would be good info to get out there for anyone checking out the thread.

I have been using zaino bros stuff on my carbon and paint for awhile now. Been happy with the results, but I'm running low on most of my bottles so now would be a good time for me to switch to something else if I was so inclined.

What do you recommend for keeping this badboy looking primo? Car is garaged 99% of the time, but the sun is intense here at 6000ft, and I am not opposed to spending extra on good care products.

Also, what are the wait-time requirements for wash/wax/buff with the PPG clear?

I think yours likely came in around 8-9lbs, but I didn't weight it.
 
Yeah we put about 3 coats of PPG clear on your hood (regular orders get 2 at the most, if required). Give it a few weeks to harden fully, then you can care for it just as you would with the rest of your car. You can wash, wax, buff, etc. It's all good.
 
Congrats on the new hood 505zoom, looks tits.. dont mean to sound like a scavanger but any plans on selling that evostyle hood (yes)

Yup I've got 2 of them. Both need paint unless fading/yellowing/cracking doesn't bother you. Putting up a FS thread for those this week.
 
that's a very sexy hood. about the yellowing do you know if that has happened to everyone or are you a one time case?
 
even when there not cheap it happens sometimes, ive seen a couple DG and even ONE XC hood yellow/haze up
