Can't see the pic at work, but given his location, I'm going to guess you are looking at the Euro-spec headlamp washer.

I like my carbon fiber hood both for looks and function...the vents help keep the temps down which is nice on a hot track day.

I didnt like it at first. But i got used to it and dont mind it now. Stock 03-06 hoods look fine IMO.

I love pre-preg (dry) CF. Sick stuff. That's the real thing. A dry pre-preg CF hood is much lighter than the stock hood. I think I was told 15 pds for the entire hood.

IMO aftermarket exposed cf is on the same level of rice as those who run put on unpainted body kits or install harnesses in a car without roll over protection.
