i saw one on ebay the other day.........i just tried to find it but i didnt see it. the problem with that is most cf hoods off ebay are just fiberglass with a few sheets of crappy cf wrapped around so quality might not be the greatest. might as well just get an aluminum an paint it black or somethin haha.

U can buy them new at raceinspired.com and andysautosport.com for around $500, still searching for more sites. I'm not sure how well known they are though. I'm also looking for CF hood. I want the TII Hood but my car is N/A so i'm kinda scared that i'll get flame for having a TII Hood put on

Oh no worries.. i wasn't being a smart ***... just thorough... LOL

The aluminum hoods are extremely light. Not really a benefit over CF... except that CF is pretty damn light.. and look way cooler.. If you like CF...( my original plan was a charcoal paint scheme with a CF hood.. woulda looked sick..but i got bored waiting around for one. Anyway... i like the aluminum because it was easier to find or replace if damaged, cheaper, but most importantly damn sturdy. Since its OEM its made to fit perfectly. Ask Notveryhappyjack about loosing a $1000 CF hood while driving. Not too fun... ( God rest its soul, that was a damn nice piece)

Anyway.. yeah.. just my opinions..
