Default Carbon Works CF Hood

Has anyone heard of the brand "Carbon Works"? does anyone have any products that they sell? They have a cf oem hood for $499 shipped. seems tempting, but i need to know if this thing will fade. btw, what are some good brands that sell cf producs that don't fade?

..seibon. Why not pay an extra $50 for a reputable company? $499 shipped is more then likely for the mainland only, shipping a hood to Hawaii costs over $200.

well one of my friends has had his Seibon hood on for only about 2 months. Its already beginning to yellow. I was asking what brands don't yellow. Like DG Motorsports for example, my other friend has had his DG cf hood for about 1.5 years now and still no yellow.

I know plenty of Seibon hoods that havent yellowed. I know they use to use a clear coat that wasn't UV protected, which caused the yellowing. That has since been addressed and fixed.

I have the motordyne plenum spacer and (5/16) and the TS hood (with vents down each side) and it fits fine
