My keyboard structure analysis led me to believe he meant price. I could be wrong.

I have no exp with rx7 carbon fiber product's, but from other projects I can say cheap carbon fiber is a total fail. It will look good for about one summer, if it fits right in the first place, and when it wears it will do all kinds of nasty looking things that are impossible to hide unless you feel like attemting to paint it. from what I understand you may want to try and see if one of the club importers can sorce one. would be safer imo. do you want this hood for the pure looks of a CF hood, or is it to save weight in the weekend racer? just asking

See if this fits the bill maby? Best of luck

your not going to find any cheaper than $500, and if you do, itll probably be garbage within 1 year.
