How did you match those underhood dimples? Did you simply overlay CF on an OEM hood or is this made entirely from scratch in-shop? If it's the latter, please provide more technical details regarding the underpinnings.

For a high-quality, clear-coated, under hood braced (i.e. won't need hood pins) carbon fibre hood? $650 is about right for a new/rare car....

Jason, any idea on the weight savings over stock?

I agree, not enough of a difference in weight between CF and stock hood to warrant spending $650...can think of other things I'd rather spend my $$$ on....such as Canzoomer's stage 1 kit!
