Working on a CF Caldina-style hood at MO.com...

Post by Psychobroker »

but we're going to need some votes/interest. I'm going to volunteer my Vibe for the prototyping, if they need it. I'm guessing $300-$350 per hood in CF, more if in fiberglass. I'd rather have it CF, then be able to paint it later if I want to. Besides, a set of blue anodized MOMO hood pins will look sweet Here's a link, but wait to vote until Blumatrix03 puts up a new Vibe thread:http://www.matrixowners.com/mo...68515As a matter of fact, I'll link him to this post

Is this what they're going for when they say caldina style?
YES!I still visit GenVibe periodically. I have not forgotten about my "original" family over here!

I don't know about you guys, but this looks to me to be on the Corolla, Matrix, Vibe, Voltz Platform.

That is a relly nice looking car. Kind of a love child between the Vibe and the Mazda 3 with a little Trix thrown in for good measure. The hood isn't too bad looking. I still prefer the raised "ram air" style hood.
