If anyone has been looking around for a lightweight hood for a good price, I just finished installing a Hairy glass carbon fiber hood. I snapped some quick pics in the garage just to show some of the details of it.
As for the quality, it's intended for race only cars so it has to be trimmed to fit (comes with an extra foot or so on the back so it can reach the windshield if desired).
It has a gelcoat finish that needs to be painted (no nice looking clear carbon fiber finish if that's what you want). It's cored in the middle and is pretty stiff, and after the heat extracting vent was molded in, it weighed 9.8lbs.
Not bad for $515.
