Grade A & B CF Hood

Do they really make a big difference? Is it worth to get a Grade A or settle with Grade B for less the price?

They said the Grade A is thicker and the edges are rolled pretty well compared to the Grade B. What the heck its still the same ****. I think I'll go with the Grade B

Re: Grade A & B CF Hood (aw1234dude)

Material (A) Tensile Strength (GPa)
(C) Density (g/ccm)
(D) Specific Strength (GPa)
A. C. D
Standard Grade Carbon Fiber 3.5 1.75 2.00
High Tensile Steel 1.3 7.87 0.17

It's carbon fiber, this stuff is very impressive. Grade does not matter unless you are going to be installing it on an airplane. Really I would not worry about the grade unless you just want to know.. hope this helped.
