Not many but few have done the CF hood here in the past, from searches and reading their old threads there was no complaints about fitment or quality that Im aware of. Of course I dont know the long term, but I know Ill eventually want and need to paint the CF piece because it yellows with age.

Since Im reparing the car and costing serious $$$ I figured I might as well not put it back stock and use the oportunity to do some "upgrades". The OEM hood being discontinued left me no choice, but then a original piece popped up here and Im second guessing.

Edit: I read the CF part is possibly some 15 to 20lbs lighter than stock. Something that the OE hood weighed 40-45 lbs.
