Carbon fiber is much more durable that Fiberglass man. And it flexes a lot more too.
Also depends on the weave.

You have to make your own brackets to make it fit. Probably be hard to hack up for an intercooler if you are turbo also.

the only thing ive ever seen close to this idea is a crx with CF hood, fenders, and front bumper. maybe try going that route, will probably be cheaper than having one custom fabricated for your car becuase i dont think any companies just make these.

I've never seen any thing from Import Fan! I was told by a friend that it's not the best.

Here is a current thread about Import Fan products.
