pricey but... amazing.

I just thought you should all know in case you couldn't buy them some other way or want to make it yourself.

its nice but $360 for no performance gain.I dont think many of us have money to throw on something that might save a ounce or 2 in weight.Is that what noah paid? If it is, either he has money to burn,or screws loose.

That's almost about what you would expect to pay for CF work.

Especially pieces that are not mass produced like hoods & trunks.

Obviously no performance gain...strictly looks.

I come into pockets of money...

No guarantee but that can hold true for lots of engine mods...that's the way I look at it.

After all...the stock one is thin plastic...

true, but its not fiber nor has clear on it. and with the im getting over 180deg. the clear can starts to fade, yellow, cf may get fragile from the heat cycles.

when u have a cf hood. u have about 2-3" of flowing air so the hood doesnt heat up as much and u have fiberglass underneath and more air space then cf. my cf hood gets warm to the touch and thats it. not like the oem one which can get quite hot

I think it should be okay...

I know there was a company, I think OE Tuning (closed down) that made a cover and I never heard a bad thing about it.

But only time will tell...
