2012 Ford Fiesta Carbon Fiber Hood

[MaxTheCar]

Does anyone know if this hood will fit my 2012 Fiesta S Sedan? I have been looking everywhere for a carbon fiber hood for it but can't. I am really just looking for style, not really performance but don't exactly want a wrap. Thanks!

Edit: Thanks everyone! I may just get a wrap in that case. I thought it was for a 2012, but I don't think I want to waste money on something that is not going to fit so it's good to know it's not even for my year... lol.

No. That is for a 2014 -19. The stock hood panel is not heavy. Just take it to a professional decal shop and get a cf wrap done. That way, Your wallet wont be on fire.

You can get a good wrap for way under the $1100 it would cost to get a carbon hoodie that would fit your year.

If you want looks or style, a quality wrap is what you want. CF panels are intended to be race car parts. As such, things like fit and finnish quality is not a prime objective.
Some carbon fiber parts require a lot of fitting time or are designed to be pinned to the chassis and have no provision for hinges or bolt on attachment.

Yeah, I really don't know why they listed it as 2012-2016 if it's for a 2014. Weird.

Is that why I see some cars have hood pins?

Yup.

Some websites that you are visiting may be aimed at the markets on other continents. Alibaba is one of them.
Items like radio/hvac faceplates, hood panels, bumper covers and driving light kits are often not designed for the North American version of Fiesta.

That, and some folks think pins are cool.
