Default Carbon Fiber Hood Help!

Hi, I am looking into replacing my stock hood with a carbon fiber hood (got in an accident and the hood needs to be replaced). Can anyone give me some reviews on some CF hoods? I see them range anywhere from 400 to 1000+. Is there really a big difference in quality? I saw a nice one, by Fiber Images for a good price, any feedback on their CF hood?

Ummm... It really depends what "style" you want. Fiber Images' carbon weave is pretty nice. If you want to spend a little more money on a carbon hood(which you should BTW), look into hoods from companies like Top Secret or Seibon. I just recently bought the VS hood from Seibon. Many people who have hoods from Seibon were pretty satisfied. There "was" a fitment issue, probably corrected by now.I let you know how it turns out when I install it. Do a search on Carbon Hoods...you'll be surprised on how much you can learn

Thanks for the information, I appreciate it. I will look into the search as well. Question, have you seen a Fiber Image CF OEM hood? How does it look to you?
