Anyone know a place to get a carbon fiber hood that doesn't need hood pins?

If there was one it would probably have a metal frame then.

Default There are several that don't "require" hood pins, but based on various peeps experiences, they are a

good idea on any CF hood.

Default URL enlosed, "states that it is all carbon fiber, and retains all factory mounting and hood latches"

Hope this helps<ul><li><a href="http://www.goapr.com/Audi/products/carbon_hood.html">clickety, clack</a></li></ul>

Default Awesome double markup on the retail price there. That's a fiber images hood.

and can be bought at most rice retailers who do high volume of those for 650 bucks<ul><li><a href="http://www.mmrusa.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&amp;Store_Code=98185-E4GASN346P4&amp;Product_Code=cfhS4">like here.</a></li></ul>

Default Interesting, how to you know it's the same hood? I was under the assumptin that APR made those

those hoods, woops. Good info. $1300 does seem OUTRAGEOUS for a wieght loss of 26 lbs. D

Default Well there are two companies making CF hoods for the B5, VIS and fiber images. Others have confirmed

that the hoods APR sells is indeed fiber images. Good quailty, but as to why they mark them up that far is beyond me. They probably just dont sell them in enough volume to get them for cheap.
