If you want quality spend $700+ for a REAL cf hood. most "cf" hoods are fiberglass with 1 layer of cf This is how you can test your hood to see if its real.
1. Stand infront of your ghetto piece of ****.
2. Jump high and forward so that you land ontop of your hood
3. Jump off ( if you havent gone through it yet)
If you have succesfully landed back on the ground and your hood is ok, you sir have a real cf hood.

so are you saying that if i invest $700+ on a real cf hood i never have to wax?
are all cf hood cover in clearcoat? and by maintenance is to wax the clear coat not the actually cf.
