PM biohazard, I believe this is the hood he has and I think he said it was crap fitment and wouldn't recommend it to anyone. I could be wrong though. In his sig he has "Carbon Fiber Dual Extractor hood", and I think I remember hearing his bad dealings with Import Trenz.

Edit: Bored at work so did some searches for you regarding biohazard's experiences:

In theory I think it could help remove some engine heat, how much I don't know? Worth the money...IDK?

the price of your spoiler was worked into your car, so yes you have! a carbon fiber hood weighs a hell of a lot less then stock... by itself maybe it doesn't do much, but when you take the seats out, spare, jack, etc, it adds up...



i also belive biohazard had issues with this thing... he said it was too flimsy and did not fit right...

i had a ram air rk hood for my cav, ya it was nice looking but the underneath looked like ****, i did nothing, it was light yes, which is why everytime i went 120 plus on the highway the hood would look a lil too unstable, my friend had an evo hood with the same thing, personally id spend money elsewhere, thats just me though...

Sorry just don't think it does a lot of justice to the body style. Not to mention that awfully pricey.

im curious to know if the carbon weaves all the way around the edges to the bottom, or if its just cutoff at the edges. that makes a huge difference in whether its quality or not.
