Are the CTS and CTS-V hood exactly the same? Or are V hoods aluminum and CTS hoods steel?

Does anyone have any other pics of this hood?

I think rlj5 has one, but I'm not sure. Is it aluminum or what? It 's looks pretty badass. How does it fit?

From the website you linked to: "Extreme Composites manufactures quality custom fiberglass parts ..."

I think the cts-v is fiberglass. I use to have a cts 3.6L and it was aluminium

A stock CTS-V hood is aluminum. EC hoods are fiberglass. That's all I can tell you.

:yeah: ................... & my e/c hood fit good, But be prepared for a lot
of extra body work on the vents if you order them

A fiberglass hood is going to be heavier than the OEM aluminum hood. CF is the only material that would create a same weight/lighter hood.

Hell ya Bob, thanks man! :worship:

So how much does a stock ctsv Hood weigh? Would I be adding sit tons of weight with a fiberglass one?

 

[ctsv154]

I can take the V hood off myself. It hardly weighs anything. I know that doesn't really help much.

I like the heat extractor by SW better than the extreme composites. Both are nice though.

 

[soflarick]

SW stated their extractor hood also includes measures to prevent the engine bay from getting soaked during a downpour. This is a VERY good thing. I've had extractor hoods on a Mustang and Miata, and rain was an issue. OEM extractor hoods seem to incorporate drainage systems.

gauge pod is from a mustang. hmmmm, i like it. love the car, too.

why do you say no to louvers, when you have them? how would they make a non louver hood easier to install??

I like the louvers & would order them again..... Just warning anyone that if you get them to expect extra body work. When I got the hood with the ordered louvers I was expecting to have louvers in the hood. What I got was the holes cut out of the hood & the louvers in a separate bag. So they had to be glued in & finished to look like they were made into the hood.
All I'm saying is expect to pay for extra body work to the shop that does the paint & install......................:banghead:

And Yes the gauge is mustang... works well , Just have to cut & shape the bottom to contour it to the V dash shape & paint to match
