fc3s cf hood

I have wanted a cf hood for about three years now. Has anyone seen the quality in person that fc3s has done on these. The pics look good but I want personal opinion.

Whatever you do, just look into places like FC3S and NOT into people planning to start a production run....not sure how long you have been on here but I can tell you that every time we turn around there is someone new posting a thread about making a bunch of CF stuff, then NOT coming through for us.....humor yourself sometime if you want and do a search for it haha
I have not seen theirs but I have been told that it is top of the line stuff, and from my experiences dealing with FC3S, I would say it's a good bet

Sounds good to me. Problem is I don't know which hood to get. My vert is an NA, but I may want to turbo it in the future. Decisions, decisions.

Get the N/A cf hood! If you're gonna do a turbo swap in the future, then you should be running a FMIC anyways. I hate my TurboII hood, I want a N/A style hood.

If I have the T2 hood, won't it let dirt and **** get all on my engine. In turn making it look like ****. But I believe you are right on the FMIC.

I was wondering the same thing. On my previous rx, I had the headlight cover and dust and pollen got all on the inside of the engine bay. You think the cold air box will prevent that.
