Dragon, that hood is ******* awesome! Jeez, sometimes it blows being the starving college student.

Ok. let me explain carbon fiber to you.. There are 2 types.. #1 is called wet carbon fiber that is made the way it is to look really nice and not be paited... It's not really any stronger than regular fiberglass so if your going to pait it then you might as well just get the same hood in fiber glass and not pay the extra $$ for the pretty wet carbon one...
#2 then there is dry carbon, this is stong, much sronger then wet carbon and Fiberglass and it is extremly light, aproximatly 25-50% of what fibergalss or wet carbon weighs.. it is however some what ugly and that is why some people paint dry carbon fiber parts... O' and it is extremly expensive..
Ie.. the RE-Amemia rear GT wing I want is
$998 in Fiberblass
$1498 in wet carbon fiber
$2898 in dry carbon fiber

And there was a Blu FD pic from 7Stock.... The hood had vents back by the windshield... Nice and subtle. Anyone know what I'm talking about?
