- This is an attempt at installing a carbon creations carbon fiber sniper hood on my dodge charger.
As you can tell the video didn't go as planned, not only was the hood defective but the necessary actions on the creators part were not taken.
This is me simply giving my opinion and honesty on the situation!
As always thank you for watching feel free to like, comment, and subscribe!

Thanks for watching! Although I did not have a great experience with this company it does not mean the same will happen to you! I simply voiced my opinion on my situation and will in the future purchase a hood elsewhere!
Feel free to comment video ideas or requests, see you in the next one :)
O but it did happen to me lol. What was your solution, im ffg doing hood pins and a safty chain to replace that short latch
So I’ve been doing a lot of research (for myself mainly) but the best way to fix those gaps is to get a srt8 front bumper and hood clips to hold it down and somewhat close the side gaps
Thanks for posting this. I am actually looking at hoods from Carbon creations and now I will stay away from them. I am also considering a fiberglass hood from Amerihood. You may want to check them out. They have a pretty good set of hoods for the challenger and charger. Pretty cool. Thanks again.
This is the 5th video on carbon fiber hood fails or problems that ive found on youtube...4 out 5 were carbon creation hoods!
I wanted to swap my hood out so I went with Duraflex and it had so many cracks and imperfections we ended up sending it back,I'm now waiting for the hood from Dodge itself to be completed.I think going with the factory hoods work better in my opinion.
I had that same problem with my carbon fiber good from carbon creations, their quality is sub par. I put that sucker behind my car and backed over it a few times and went and got an own srt hood. Less hassle
Hey nick, Im kinda of going through the same situation, I bought the same hood and it came damaged. There’s a large crack where god scope is and both the shipping company and the website where I got it from refused to replace or repair. What’s your thoughts?
The website has to replace it. If you call carbon creations they will say the warranty is withheld through the seller. I went through all of that crap. If you call carbon creations and give them the purchase info they might be able to help a little
Thanx for the video. I am looking for a carbon fiber hood and almost bought it off of this company. Saved me some hastle.
Juan Ayala I might be able to go give a good recommendation, what kind of car do you have?
Nick Harding 06 Chrysler 300c srt8
Juan Ayala vis racing and trucarbon are good
Nick Harding OK I'll check them out. Thanks for the advise.
Those hoods made for SRT the fenders on SRT are slightly a little longer
Damn bro... I have a 2015 charger rt and I was looking at this, sorry it doesn’t fit!
Im going with amerihood they seen promising
I'm thinking of going that route too
It tells you when you buy it they suggest hood pins that’s the reason why not all vehicles are going to fit correctly
Jose Glory they recommend hood pins because the hood is light and non reinforced and the hood latch is attached by fiberglass. No one would recommend hood pins due to poor fitment. They do it for safety and liability reasons

Well you said the latch was part of the problem hood pins replace the hood latch so you would’ve got rid of the problem there and I didn’t see you change your hood stopper posistions
Jose Glory lol the hood was deemed defective in 3 ways to the manufacturer and was destroyed in the end result.
he had a point tho, the hoods are made in china dude, they are cheap. if you want it to work use hood pins would have fixed it and ensured your hood will never "fly up" while driving. because FYI. after some time that bonded hood latch can fail and you could end up dying as a result.
The hood on the wall makes hood “Wall Art”
That sucks man!!! I subscribed though
Wyo Scatpack I appreciate it! Need to post more content
I'm about to receive a TA style air ram hood from Amerihood tomorrow morning and am equal parts excited and nervous for the upcoming experience.
Any tips/tricks/recommendations for post curing and easy hood removal and install?
Late to the video here but I am sorry that this particular hood did not work out for you ;3;
I had to send mine back twice finally got a decent condition 1
I don't see how any company could do business like that none the less make money
they are made in china thats how, almost all companies including seibon are making them in china now. and VIS.
I got an amerihood TA style for my challenger and luckly the latch sas adjustable.it was a bitch to fit then take off adjust all 4 bolts evenly then fit again but after seeing this im glad i had the option and the fit sucked too theres a 1/4 inch gap on either side and the corners by the hinges are up higher than the fenders....all in all i think aftermarket hoods are shit
yeah to some extent, blackoppsautoworks has good hoods
Nick Harding i want to get that viper hood for my challenger was there any worry about it being to open with the vents.ive done some research on vented hoods and people say its not an issue but im still not sure especially when all i see are vids of this hood not fitting chargers(hemi pharoh)
this hood was the first one pharaoh had, then pharaoh got a replacement sent in which was on his car an it fit better but still not good. If you want this hood an are worried about the vents go to trufibers website an look at them, the vents don't go through to the other side of the hood they actually are a forced induction that feeds to one spot its pretty neat.
Nick Harding thanks i have the cervini C440 spoiler on my challenger and its one of those you love it or hate it mods so im looking for a unique hood so i will have to take a look at that
go to blackopsautoworks website. in my opinion the shaker hood matches that spoiler well
This is why you buy ViS!
Nice hood though. Use hood latches on these types.
Try amerihood i had good fitment with them
Won’t buy from them. Thanks for the review.
Note to self - buy no products from Carbon Creations. Thanks man, sorry you lost some funds on that trash product.
Carbon Creations is a garbage company. Thanks for sharing this. Seems you're far from alone. At least you didn't have it fly off on the highway and kill an innocent bystander.
Take it to dodge dealer have them install it
Shawn Wright the hood was proven defective by the manufacturer and was destroyed and refunded
Nick Harding all ok
come down to memo's and wash my truck
On my way
sell me the hood
It's been destroyed.
but yet you still bought from carbon creations....who's fault is that?
