sorry to hear about the troubles. for carbon fiber hoods the most popular one we carry is the VIS vented GTR style hood. there is always vorsteiner as well, and also an OEM style cf hood.

Go carbon fiber for sure... I had a seibon carbon fiber hood on my car. i thought it looked awesome. I paid 480 for it shipped to my door. Go to the seibon website and locate dealers for your area, call them and work out a price.

Is the Seibon CF hood full CF or is it just one layer? I would like full CF.

If you want super aggressive go Vorsteiner. It looks badass and mean.

Not sure what you mean exactly. If you are asking if the hood is carbon on top and bottom then I guess not. It is carbon on top and fiber glass on the bottom... I haven't seen a hood that is like that though.

VIS and Seibon are multiple layer CF hoods, but both need adjusting to make them fit

i paid $400 for my hood through my shop

there is not such thing as a full cf hood, just different application methods to for the layers to be put on

just get the oem style cf, the rest looks super damn ricey IMHO
