Default what manufacturer and distributor should I go through for "cheap", but quality CF hood?

I got in a 5 mph accident last fall and I need a new hood, fender, and headlights. The hood was only 6 months old, got it from AndysAutoSport.com for like $700 shipped. The first hood I got from them had a few sections where the weave was screwed up and some white spots. After 1.5 months of trying, they finally sent me a new hood. Even this was wasn't great, but I wasn't about to go through the process again. Any recommendations for manufacturers and/or retailers for a good quality CF hood for less than $550 plus shipping? Here is the style hood I have and would like to get again. Only problem is I need to come up with some way to divert the rain water from going in the engine bay through the scoop because it rusted the hell out of my turbo manifold.
