O4-05 have the top side of the chrome grill fastened to the hood.

Check out Spoon Racing.

contact VIS, they make CF hood for us.
i have an 06 as well, searched around and will be getting one within ~3 weeks.
I contacted VIS, and they said their hood fits 06+ as well.
i dunno how the fitment will be, but they said their hood is not 04~05, but it's 04-08.

I don't think the VIS hood will fit like OEM, on the 06 and above models

Just use Google for "Acura TSX Carbon hood" - you'll soon find the complete list of names which you can then use to search for their websites or who does them cheapest.
As I've been informed by others previously, the sub $1K hoods are all 2 layers of CF over a FG core.
Big money=full CF, which you don't really need unless you've more money than sense or plan on racing, where every gram counts.

the vis hood will fit 06+ with some minor tweaking with the hinges and latch. and they don't make a hood specifically for the 06+. the hood that jaehshim is probably getting is the same one i had and it will have a cf hoodtrim on it.
