it's funny that you guys think Carbon Fiber hoods are ricey...
the difference in weight between a carbon fiber hood and a fiberglass hood is tremendous, but if you want the weight reduction you'll pay for it..
Most of what you see on cars running around on the streets are just fiberglass hoods coated with the carbon fiber itself..

FYI.. a real Carbon fiber hood that was made is $$$, you ever see the one that sat on the red cobra @ fordspeed? want to say it cost $1500.. (Joe correct me if i'm wrong no that..)
don't waste your money man, just get a fiberglass hood..
