I like the OEM hood.
It fits nice, and it matches the rest of the car.
A bit heavier than some of the other brands, though.

The hood actually does fit pretty good for aftermarket ... And I'm not a big 5th gen fan but your car is clean... I like the way you painted your hood

Ive heard that Vis and kaminari have really good products. Kaminari's hood is awesome, there was someone selling theirs on here and that hood looked bad ***. Vis also has the option to carbon fiber the skeletal **** underneath.

Also, usally fitment problems ive seen have been around the headlights, and hoodpins fix that problem.

This is where I got my Carbon Kevlar bonnet from.
.
http://www.carbonfibrefx.com/index2.htm

All I can say is that I love it, quality is excellent and it fits perfectly. I went for the blue weave so it would be a bit different. I like the way it looks different depending on the light. Here's a couple of pics on dull and sunny days so you can see the difference.

That blue weave looks awesome with the color of your car...
How big is the weight difference between the stock hood and CF hood?
Does anyone have actual numbers?

I don't know what the difference is weight wise except to say that the CK bonnet is a lot lighter, I would say that it's at least half the weight of the original if not even lighter.

The orange weave is the nicest in my opinion but wouldn't have gone with my car unfortunately.

Here is a link to more pics of the bonnet, if you scroll through the pages from 10 upwards you'll find them.
