Default Someone should contact these guys...
I know that MA Shaw makes carbon fiber car parts for Porsche and BMW.
I think that anyone interested in CF hoods (vented of course), should contact these guys, and if enough of us do just that, they'll know that there is a market for it!

I read here that they shatter almost like glass (non-safety) in a crash

Default doubt it
it'll crumple and delaminate; it's fiberous, remember. Think about what a corvette (fiberglass) looks like in a crash.

It is, however, expensive to repair.
