Composite Hoods
 
From a technical stand point why is there such a big difference in the prices of carbon fiber hoods. You can buy one for $250 or you can pay $950 and they both are wet formed hoods. I understand that some do a good job of increasing ventilation and are good at keeping engine compartment temp. levels down. Other than that what is the reason for such a big differene in price? Layers of carbon? Higher percentage of carbon? Better carbon? I'm just really curious and much thanks ahead of time for any info:worship:

There are carbon fibre hoods costing more than 1000$ actually.
For the lower level ones it's mostly build quality\fitment\brand to determine the price. They're just frp hoods with a carbon layer in the end...
