I have a OEM style CF hood from them, mine fits pretty well and has a nice weave. Only problem I have with it is that there is a white haze showing up in between the CF and the clear coat in different spots.

Is it really noticeable? Are you happy with it? And how much did you pay for it if you dont mind me asking.
Sorry for all the Q's. Just dotn want to waste 275 bucks

It is kinda noticable, again I dont know why it is doing it since it wasnt there when I purchased the hood. I like the hood, seems to have a nice hood latch. I got mine for a bit more about 325. But I was impatient and needed the hood for a show I wanted to go to. Over all I like it, looks alot better then my dented old hood. 275 is a good price for a CF hood

did you get clear coat sprayed to protect the cf hood?

and you keep a coat of wax on it to keep the sun from fading the cf

I believe most hoods have the clear coat protecting on them as well as a uv protectent. I wax my car once every two weeks so it should have plently of wax on it.

not true. go into your local body shop and/or import shop. they will highly recomend that you get another clear coat and another uv coat.

youre paying 275 for a cf hood. for a QUALITY 3 layer carbon fibre hood, it would cost roughly 236 dollars, just for supplies. Then there is time and labor, R&D, product testing etc.

IMHO you get what you pay for.
