Why is the hood only $9. Too good to be true.

Why would you get a CF hood? It serves NO purpose other than looks (which isn't the reason you buy CF to begin with).

Just my .02

ok, i doubt it will end at $9, and someone on here bought the genesis one (less expensive) and they said they were impressed with it, so yea, i guess ill go with that one...true, performance wise there wont be proabably any gain, but last thing i need is more tickets, so im just making the car look good right now, besides, im painting the carbon hood silver, except for the rotary symbol in the middle which ill leave carbon fiber. it will be a unique look.

I concidered a CF hood b/c mine is dented. The OEM hood is $500 plus painting total over $600.

I may go with the CF because it is cheaper.

Isn't the hood light as it is? The carbon hood, IMO, wouldn't make much of a difference.
