If you read their homepage, they're currently not making automotive products.

It should. I saw a red hatch with the kevlar and it looked real nice ( I know you said your car was gold though).

no offense but kevlar takes deep pockets to own....personally if it wont be a show car it isnt worth the extra $$ just to look at ( just my 2 cents)

if you go on ebaymotors and type in Kevlar there is a store that sells kevlar hoods and they look pretty good for about 400-500 dollars.

That's exactly what I was gonna mention when I started reading through this thread. They seem to have a nice product and a good selection. I was reading their feedback and they've also sold lots more different things then what was in their current listing. Chances are if it's Honda/Acura they've got a mold for it.
