I don't know, his statement that the hood requires no modification or major hardware to install seems a trifle optimistic....

Instead of paying money on an unknown, get a carbon fiber hood from Rotary Extreme or other reputable place. You know the quality will be good with a real business behind the product.

Stephen, I think you need to read the title again.

It's CF not FC.

He is lying if he says it is not a replica. Give me a break....Mazdaspeed hoods are well over $1000. Even Imp65/Atihun's replicas cost quite a bit more than the ebay guy's.....

That's definitely a replica or worst of all, it's a scam. The original mazdaspeed hood is not glossy. It's vacuum carbon autoclaved so it looks flat.
