Default carbon fiber hoods - who has the biggest weave?

Each company makes their own carbon fiber weave design... i like larger weaves while some don't... anyone have comparisons?

Most use a 3k weave. Which we use and a lot of other companies. That is basically the standard. For some reason Spoon likes to use that tiny crap.

We have 3 hoods here for the EK civic which is made with 6k. That is double the filaments per buddle than the 3k. Were talking 3,000 filaments more. Super thick.

Why would you want bigger weave?? IMO that makes a hood look really cheap and haggard.
