also, you dont want a cheap carbon fiber hood. if your going to cheap out, and get the cheapest CF hood you can find, youll be best with sticking with the stock hood, that you can get at a junkyard for like 50-100$ and paint that.
if you get a cheap CF hood, you have the risks of: it not fitting well, the sides being high, having to reclear coat it (most companies use a real cheap,scratch prone clear) so thatll cost you 75$ on top of your CHEAP CF hood, it may have flaws in the CF, low grade CF, cracked, etc. etc.
so if your going to just buy the cheapest CF hood you can find, you misewell go with stock.. look at some of the VIS hoods for the rd2 when they came out, they were cheaper than erebuni, but fit like ASS.
to get a good OEM CF hood your gonna be paying 550-650 shipped.

i was planning to take a loan out to fix it and a little extra just to get some exterior goodies. ok, the stock one from the autobody is $452.32, both headlights $452.00 + corner light makes it $480.00. so iwas planning on getting a decent c/f hood and the apache headlights and corner lights from sharkracing.
yeah, get this a hood emblem $10.28!
