I'm attempting to move forward on the
previously mentioned CF hoods.  I've
moved the discussion over to the forums
for the most part, for this particular issue,
it's easier than trying to do a one-many
discussion/back and forth over the list.

Yes, I know, forums suck ;) but here's
the link to this thread anyway:

Have 5 hoods committed already,
I also have 2 questions that I need
to ask you guys.

First, what's the maximum at hood temperature
anyone's measured?  I was thinking off the top
of my head that 500 degrees would give an
adequate safety margin for NA cars, not sure
about turbo cars, though.

Secondly, do any racing classes allow carbon
fiber body panel replacements?  I'm considering
doing fenders, trunk lid, etc.

Thanks all,

Peter
