what temp do hoods made of CF warp at?

[EstoMax]

i read that they warp in winter in several places .. so im wondering at what point does it start to happen.. i presume its the temperature difference between engine bay and the air outside..

so, anyone kno?

Well I wouldnt tottally listen to me. I THINK some CF hood are just laminated. Get a 2nd opinion.

Pure, good quality CF wouldn't warp very easily. The cheaper stuff, would.
One part that plays an obvious factor is the construction. The type of resin used, the way its applied, and how much, also might play a part in hood warping.

I think good CF still might warp...i think it might just take a lot more to cause damage.

You might wanna ask someone else tho...

A CF hood made with polyester resin and/or without proper vacuum bagging and autoclave curing is a cosmetic piece. Not fit for automotive use.
