not bad at all!

 

Not too crazy about the waviness of the weave but it looks like it fits like a glove

 

That is one hell of a nice looking hood. The design flows well with the Focus. What did it run you?

 

Wow, very nice. I'm set on one now unless I can get a FC Ram Air hood. It looks like my previous thread about their hoods was deleted?

 

nice fit....but I agree with the wavyness

how much did that run you?

dave.

 

It was like 360,.... $495 shipped!! so not too bad!! Yeah I dont show my car or anything so im not worried about the wavyness of the weave. Im just happy to be able to get an aftermarket hood for an 05+!!!!! It about friggin time!!!LOL!! THANKS DEFT!!!! you rock!!!

 

the fitment is amazing. good buy!

 

Nice looks good, I bet your cars a Cop magnet-

 

Sweet!!! I wish they made the Invader for the 01.

 

car looks sick man. you had the same idea i had with the grill. i'm ordering a steeda grill in the next couple weeks for my 05. i'm painting it black to match my car as well. i'm jelous, love the hood!!!

 

yummm, that hood looks awesome!

 

Looks really good I like how it looks! A lil off subject but what spoiler is that on the back of your focus. It looks really good on there and do you have any other shots of the car?

 

Sweet!!! I wish they made the Invader for the 01.

I've got one on mine... :dunno:

 

Not too crazy about the waviness of the weave but it looks like it fits like a glove

yeh it does fit good, but that wavyness is throwing me off

 

I've got one on mine... :dunno:

is yours a Deft racing hood though? Thats what was implied.

 

looks good man

 

i like the hood and over all car,,,but that grille....WTF? not my cup of tea thats for sure....but the car itself is good looking,,

 

I think it looks great. I'm not too fond of the wavyness either, but it's better than no carbon fiber lol

BTW, with that grille the car looks like a late-model Nissan Altima. Maybe it's just me, but i've seen many Altimas around here with grilles like that.

 

Can you take some underside pics and some close up pics of the edges (with the hood open) for us?

Many of us are wondering about Deft's quality before we buy from him. Close ups would be awesome. Thanks!

 

That looks really good. Not a fan of the side treatment on your car but that's just my personal taste. Overall the car looks hot.

 

up....pics? (close ups)

 

damn y didnt they have one like that when i bought mine

 

wow, i JUST noticed this thread? lol. car looks great... the weave is because of the extreme vent angles.. you can have it perfect... that is HAND LAID and a very good lay for the extreme angles. its like trying to lay fabric on that angled hood without having any wrinkles

Cna I use those pics for the site? they look great!

 

^ yeah, its HAND LAID, which means there is EYE BALLS watching behind those hands and should be paying attention better to quality. Im sorry, but the waves in the fabric is a strong sign of poor quality. Steep angles and edges has nothing to do with poor quality. There are many other manufactures that deal with those edges just fine, and look flawless.

 

It has nothing to do with the angles of the hood, the processes they use now (Vacuum molds) pretty much eliminate that having an effect. The waves are in the actual weave of the fabric itself, which has little to do with structural integrity or lack of quality, its just a cosmetic flaw that happens. A manufacturer isn't going to throw away a 100 foot roll of carbon fiber fabric because the weave was pulled too tight in one direction. If the fabric was going to be used for something aeronautical for example , then yeah it would probably be an issue.

Anyway, its been like 2 years, is it wearing well? Any gel coat issues?
