Why would you order one? The weight savings has to be very minimal, or are you just doing it for the look?

don't get the cheap ones, thats all I gotta say .... they look like crap after a week in the sun , start getting hazy and crap, get the VIS one, it's only like 100-150 bucks more ...

i got mine from the guys up at gemini composites(check the looks and appearance section). Cost me around $700, shipping included from canada. its is a CF with blue kevlar, with custom cut vents. i LOVE my hood!
