Fiberimage's hood was used on the Dazz Motorsports 350WHP TSX, you could try them.
Not to thread jack... but what's this about Buddy Club and the splitter in your sig? I'm kinda interested seeing one of those.

I know at kingmotorsports.com there is a CF hood for $600, also Vis makes one i think. The Feels hood is about 1000 bills, but it takes a few weeks to get it here.

the hoods a lil pricey right now.. maybe a few more weeks of savin up.. but as for the splitter, i should have it on by the end of summer... its the same splitter as on the Dazz Motorsports tsx.. you should be able to see it in the pic.. i like the OEM body kit, but wouldnt mind altering the total look.. i was thinking about the buddy club sponsorship, but their kits are a lil too aggresive for me, and im happy with the clean look i have now.. but Ill still look towards buddy club for the splitter, they got a bunch of styles, i might get somthin other than the one on the Dazz tsx, jus to be different.. it shouldnt be that much.. im guestimatin 250 bills with the rods.

and is the Buddy Club splitter the exact same as the Dazz TSX b/c theirs was a APR custom one, or is it just similar. Sounds very cool.

Yeah, I've seen some knock off hoods before and they look like shit. I agree good money will get you good products, but 1200 for a hood is a bit rich for my blood. I have no problem dropping bills on my car at all. I'm guessing a good portion of that cost is importing and shipping, no? I think I read somewhere you paid a lot for that bumper as well?!?

Phase only makes the front bumper. They use the stock Euro-R side and rear skirts on their cars. For more images of the Phase Racing car www.phaseracing.com.
As per the conversation regarding the weave pattern, here is an image of my the pattern on my hood, I am just saying that I have never seen a North American made carbon fibre hood come close to JDM quality..
The images really don't do justice on the hood. I noticed in your avatar you are going to move or are in Seattle? I go to Seattle once a month, maybe I can swing by and meet up with you so you can see what I'm talking about.
Cheers,
InspireS

InspireS-- How does that hood hold up for daily driving in respects to being behind other cars that might kick us dirt and rocks. I know the paint on any car will take a beating to daily highway driving, what about that hood. Looks like it has a good clear coat layer or something on it. Notice any blemishes or anything? Just curious!
