That should keep you busy. Not all of those are related to yoru question, but you will find plenty of information. This is already your 5th new thread in the 2 days that you have been a member. Welcome to the forum, but please be a little more discriminate about what you do.

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!!

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.
