Aftermarket Hood?

I use my car as a daily driver, and put about 750 miles or more a week on it. Alot of those miles are through construction zones so I have a ton of rock chips on the bumper and hood. I was going to have them repainted and have a clear bra put on, but I just had another idea. I thought that since I'm stuck paying for a repaint, and I plan to make a few other modifications down the road, I should look into getting a slightly more aggressive aftermarket hood. I looked through tons of pics here at azine, but can't seem to find anyone with any aftermarket hoods except CF OEM style hoods. My car is NHBP and I always thought that a CF hood on a black car looks a little odd. (Not bad, just not nearly as good as they look on a different color.)
Does anyone know where I can find a decent looking hood to replace the stock one that doesn't look like a steaming bowl of rice? I don't want any bird catchers or anything dumb like that, just a little something to seperate my car from all the others but not look 100% rice.

A cf/vented hood on a car with pulleys, RSB, and an air filter as the only other modifications is not only rice, it would look ridiculous.

CF hood is a finishing touch on an otherwise fully modified car.

not really.....the dude has to get a new hood anyways so why not get an aftermarket one. Hes not gonna be like "damn I need a new hood but I don't got enough mods to get one yet!"

Then can I get a CF hood? haha..i need one to finish off. but my car can never be as fast as yours.!!!

Well, you can always get a VIS N1 CF hood w/ a vent or a J's Racing or M&M Honda CF hood. They have two vents.
