Has anyone ever seen a carbon fiber hood with a window to see the engine bay?

A friend was telling me about it, but I'm not so sure, then again I haven't seen it yet.
Does it look good?
Is the fit ok?
Do you think it's rice or nice?
If you have a picture please post.
From what I hear price is around $450, is it worth the money?
Thanks in advance!

I saw something like that on a Del Sol in some magazine. It looked kinda ricey. That's my opinion though.

No not a vent. It has a scratch proof type of plastic glass or something of the sort.

I've seen one of FnF. You could probably get one done custom.

It was the gold and green pearl painted civic hatch. I liked it because there was a Sewerside built B series motor staring back at me through the plexiglass.

they have one in e-bay rite now. it looks cool but i wouldnt put one in. i just dont like the idea of everyone seeing my goodies under the hood. i want them to guess what i have after i take them out for messing with me.
