I don't really understand why vendors haven't started producing these parts in fiberglass. Carbon Fiber is nice, sure but if you're going to end up painting the entire hood anyways, why pay a premium in the thousands for countless hours of craftsmanship for something you won't even see. Carbon Fiber products are only expensive because of the labour. Carbon Fiber itself as a material is relatively cheap to produce. Maybe I'm just a cheap person, idk but 6000$ for minimal weight reduction and painted over cf. Err, just give me the cheap fiberglass.

Agreed; if I was to do this I'd go OEM. I've learned the hard way in the past not to go with aftermarket parts anymore. The fitment is always way off.

I'm going to try RKP next because that's an IND company so I know their quality/fitment will be top notch. Sorry to derail! |

Nah. I had a hood with an opening like that on my S2000, they have rain trays and the spot over where it sits doesn't have any electrical components.
