BatLord's car is awesome. It has to be the best looking, best built Tib ever. But I still don't like the hood. He does though and that's all that really matters.

I think CF has been overdone. You can get anything in CF now. Ever see Cheech and Chong's up in smoke, the van made of weed?? It won't be long untill we see a car like that!

I really like true CF accents for the interior though, if not overdone.

being around cf and fiberglass i would also vote for fiberglass, carbon is nice to look at but it is designed for race applications, it is very brittle and very hard to repair, a good quality fiberglass hood shouldn't weigh much more then the carbon, the biggest part is what the hood is designed to do, my track hoods will weigh up to 50% less then street hoods just as an example.... i have also had fiberglass hoods that weigh less then cf, and have seen chopped glass hoods weigh close to that of a stock hood, all in all it really depends on personal taste and the quality of work that went into the product....
thanks curt

Or get someone to make one for me with my scoop in it?

Yuris tib is tight, but "the best built tib ever"? Thats kind of a stretch seeing that you haven't seen all the tricked out tibs out there.

Yuri's car comes will probably at the top of the crop when it comes to Tiburons (although not as good as mine ..j/k I'm trying to catch up)

I am a big fan of Carbon Fiber. I'm sorry if you guys dont like it, but there is something the way the light reflects off of the carbon that makes me happy smile.gif Maybe I'm just too much of a car freak.

I had the oppoutunity to buy KORE's CF hood for $300 and I have to say. It fits better than stock. The gaps between the panels are actually smaller and fit better than the stock hood did.

Contact the people at www.kitzs.com, they are the selling side of TC Spoiler. They should be able to tell you if they have it or can get it.
