Don't be fooled by the "cheaper Carbon Fiber" hoods on ebay.

I don't know man. that seems to cheap for a C/F hood to me. Check out the link below. They look nice and I have seen some of them on 8's.

It is a little cheap, but it is a valid product! No pics but proof from MOMO that they do infact make that hood.

the style of that hood is decent. Would look good painted. But, alas, it's fiberglass. I wouldn't pay 10 dollars for a fibreglass hood, I can make that **** myself.

I don't believe them. A 100% carbon fibre hood would cost a **** load. Now, 100% real carbon fiber doesn't mean anything except that the carbon fibre they do use is 100% real, not that the hood is 100% carbon fibre. It could have a single layer of 100% real carbon fibre and their ad would be true. Carbon fibre is not cheap, certainly not this cheap.
