WOW! Love the shelby in the sig.

Lots have a CF hood with no problems, most if not all are vented in some fashion to allow dissipation of heat from the engine bay. I have yet to see a CF hood "peeling" per se. You will have to get a nice clear coat for the top of the hood to protect from sun damage.

CF hoods are all over the place!!

Go here for some kick *** ones:

or of course on the forum store.

ok on cf hood you need to make sure how it is setup because if you need to make holes for hood pins get a drumall and sand it. and about the heat its ok if you do it right because the area that it will break on the holes if you mess up.
