Searched. Couldn't find a definitive comparative so I thought I'd ask.
Im looking for a nice CF hood. Looks arent as important to be. Reliability and sure, perfect fitment is. OEM CF is fine too.
Does erebuni make one? What about Zefiro?
Please provide a link to the purchase site as well. Thanks.
P.S. I know about Flyrydes hoods. Im just weighing my options. Thanks.

go with flyryde. they spent months re-making each prototype copy of the OEM hood (rd1 OR rd2) and fianlly got a perfectly fittign and latching hood.
No problems whatsoever, I've even gotten "Woah that hood fits good" from the guys at the Hyundai Dealership.
You won't be dissapointed.

I should have mentioned that I was looking for an RD1 hood.
I cant find anything on Erebuni's website. And I am well aware of Flyride.
Im just trying to find something that doesnt have the larger vents that the Evo style hood has (not a good idea in Chicago weather). Chris warned that his OEM hood fitment isnt as good as the other hoods he offers.
SO
Im just trying to find alternatives in the meanwhile. Most likely, I will go with his hood but it doesn't hurt to look around.
That being said, any other suggestions?
Thanks

Dont mean to sway off topic here a little bit, but if you get a CF hood, if you want to trick it out a little more than just slapping it on your car, one of the best things you could do is have your local body shop add a little bit of your color paint to some clear coat, and spray it over the CF hood. What you will get is basically the hood will be the same color as the car, but it will be translucent enough where you will still see the CF weaves. wink1.gif That way if you are going with a color combo, and dont want to throw off the theme of your car with the black CF, you can still go with what you want to do with your colors, and still show that you are rollin with carbon fiber.
