Ya, I haven't seen a carbon fiber hood in person, but from all the pics and what i hear, they look sweet, so if you are going for show and have the $, I'd go for it. Just make sure to get one that has some reviews on it and you know it's not gonna be shotty work, it gets hard to find carbon fiber retailers out there... Post some pics as ur doing ur mods, sounds like you could have a hellofa car as far as looks go. I'm definitely more of a go than show, but if I had the extra money, I would love to invest in some show...
