Not Work Safe Group Buy: Carbon fiber hood?

Are there any company that can produce a group buy on a carbon fiber hood. I really want one plus my stock hood is F**k up and i want to replace it and it would look sick on rally yellow.

There have been many attempts but no one has succeeded in putting a hood GB together.

I know, the high price tag of CF hoods for our car is the only reason I dont have one. But another thing that is difficult with the hood GB is that everyone wants a different style hood.

id definately be down for a GB.. someone needs to just pick out a hood and go with it.. theres no way your goin to get everyone to agree on the same one.. Put a poll and whatever hood gets the most votes try to get a GB for it.

This team I just join is sponsored by Fiber image, and they might make me a hood. I can talk to him about a group buy but I need everyone to agree on a style. OEM, EVO style, or RAM air? Most likely whatever he makes for me, if anything, will be what he can produce. I'll keep everyone updated
