Default Good carbon fiber hood, for not too much cash?

Some dickwad kid hit my teg and ****ed up my OEM hood.

I'm looking for a good carbon fiber hood, preferably something with a basic hood scoop (nothing crazy lookin). I've been trying to find something made with epoxy resin, but I unfortunately don't have too much money to spend, no more than $400.

Can anyone recommend any good hoods? And hopefully provide a link. There are a ton on eBay, but I'm a little sketchy about it.

Any help is appreciated.

Joel

This is more of an appearance-related thing.

Well, the question was more geared toward, what have other people tried? What companies make CF hoods that don't turn yellow with too much sun? What CF hoods don't sag and flex over time?

I've seen some bad CF hoods before and of course, every company says they are the best. I'm just tryin to see what others have used. I would love to get a Mo-Jun, but he quoted me $900 for the hood.

Anyway, just tryin to see if others had tried other companies that didn't have issues like this.

Thanks for the SEIBON suggestion, they were one that I was checking out.
