Pics as promised and unpacking. Very well packaged as you can see below. My thoughts on the hood are this... I did my flash light test and you can see pin holes, because of this it's most likely only got 1 layer of CF and 1 layer of glass on the outside surface. The edges show areas that are a little rough as well as some tan speckled spots (guessing this is glaze from clean trying to clean up porosity). Over all I am satisfied with my $330 purchase. The exterior surface of the hood looks great. It needs some rubbing compound and some buffing, but it's pretty sweet looking. Would I buy another one... probably. For the work that goes into making the mold and laying up everything it's worth it to me. Sure if I did it myself the product would be a lot higher quality, but it would cost me a lot more then $330 too. That said on with the pics.
