I'd pay about 1k for a good dry CF Hood, THAT CLEARS plenum mods, FI systems etc., and good fitment. Top Secret makes freat hoods, but expensive, so not too many people have them.

Unfortunately the price you are looking for is impossible. Look at a Seibon that is a fake CF hood and they charge $800 to make a profit.

For dry carbon? Are you ignorant to the fact on how much it costs to make? Please save the childish graemlins and ignorant statements for the lounge or aka off-topic section.

For sure bud. I will definitely inform everyone once I decide to get the ball rolling because I know there are still a handful of enthusiasts that would take it to that level and pay for the good stuff.

You can get an infused hood to just as light and as strong as a pre-preg carbon hood without the extra cost.......
