cf hoods thread

I'm looking to buy a carbon fiber hood, however instead of looking through millions of posts trying to find the different ones I thought we could start a thread with pics of all the different carbon fiber hoods that are out for our 8's. So if you have a pic of a cf hood post it here. Try to not double post pics of the same hood.

This CK hood by Varis is my favorite.

They also have a CF version too... and a bit cheaper I might add.

hey mike, where'd you get you CF hood? that's pimped! I have the same color as yours. hopefully you can fix the alignment or the fitting of your hood as you don't want that to be flying on your windshield.
