Have that BUT quality is not the best for the price, way too expensive! Also, mine started to delaminated itself up front! I don't recommend it. Customer service = zero. They don't care about their clients.

Wow, yours is coming apart at the seams! I have that hood on my hatch. As far as delaminating goes....I've seen that happen on top dollar CF parts too. I was told your not supposed to wax CF as that contributes to the delamination. Fit isn't the greatest, and I had to trim up the hood prop hole. I really haven't had mine for long maybe about 800 miles or so. I had to have something to make my LS/Vtec fit.

I had one and the fitment was very poor, If I were to do it again I would find a shop that would be willing to order like 5 hoods so i could check them all out and get the best fitting one, and if it doesnt fit then send it back, I'm not gonna settle for another shitty $800 hood.
It seems that regaurdless of who makes the CF only 15% of them are in good/perfect shape.

I have also heard that most of these CF parts (regaurdless of the brand name) come out of the same chinese factory. and most of the so called "Carbon Fiber" parts are just fiberglass with a CF layer on top so ....

Ya, fitment was also an issue. Hood pins will be installed to make the hood fit better up front.
