Yeah suddendly there alot of carbon fiber hoods for our cars on ebay, one guy bought one for $1 + 200 shipping. I think that the people who sell those things actual get free shipping and that is where they make the money. I don't see how it's possible to sell somthing for that cheap and make money.

actually, your trying to fight a battle you're most likely gonna lose. Evillusion has quite a bit of experience in carbon fiber. Seeing that he use to work with it and make his own stuff. I would be willing to bet that your CF hood, which is pretty nice if I do say so my self. will not have the durability and quality of one of the other higher end brands. granted when you buy one of there hoods. you're in fact paying for there name, but incredible build quality and fit and finish comes with that also. have a good day.
