Default Suggestions as to who makes a good carbon-fiber hood? I already did a search,
but that only turned up 14 posts with very few vendor options. I was wondering if anyone could suggest any more...

Thanks!

Looks really nice! Does it retain all factory mounts?

probably, but does it retain the factory anti-water in your engine option?

Default if you put air into the engine compartment YOU HAVE TO TAKE IT OUT!
don't wanna pressurize the compartment.. it'll start overheating fast! I wonder what the underside of that hood looks like?
