[QUOTE="95_XB331, post: 8574868, member: 13698"] I'm actually thinking about replacing my stock, rock speckled hood with a CF piece on my black GT (black on carbon usually looks good). Because after prep and paint, a normal FG hood will cost just as much and you get some weight gains (ok, maybe 5-10lbs). I've seen the ebay ads and the VIS is suppose to have the best fitment compared to the others. One thing is I've never seen a good fitting CF hood, or even a fiber hood unless its from HO Fibertrends or Cervinis. Of course, if you can find an old one from Kaenen(they did make them sometime years back LIRC) even better. If you can see it before you buy would be best (luckily most VIS dealers are in SoCal). As for the rice effect--it's rice because most guys get the hood with all the vents and scoops and crap and then slap it on a car that has more crap. Even with the rice crowd, CF hoods have gone away like JDM parts. From that, in a few years CF hood will be re-accepted :) which is a good thing. [/QUOTE]
