Default CF Hood overlay?

Iv noticed alot of people want a CF hood for looks and the weight will be about the same, i was thinkg just having the stock hood overlayed with CF how much would it cost and how much additional weight will it add? only benefits i see is that it will have OEM fitment (duh) and look nice for ppl that like CF hoods ( like me )

Why would you want to do that?? Fusion(www.fusionmfg.com) carbon hoods are actually better than OEM and about 5-7lbs lighter depending on design. You can actually jump on these hoods and they wont break but are flexable, go jump on your hood and see what happens. Don't get me wrong, we won't be jumping on our hoods by all means, but just to show you the durability of the hood and strength.

Fusion's hood probably costs a lot more than a big sheet of vinyl would.

Yeah and getting laughed at for having a sticker "Fake" carbon look is priceless. I have seen carbon Vinyl and anyone that looks at that hood will know its FAKE!! Call up Fusion and ask for Mike he will hook you up price to cheap to post. But I guess to each their own....
