Read post #7, 3 whopping posts above yours.

Nice hood man. Did you do it for the look or for the weight savings, or both?
Damn that's expensive to add color... I paid $330 OTD for mine (regular CF) from the same place. For some reason, your hood pins look like they're way too far up the hood. Probably just an illusion or something....

Hood pins are mounted to the radiator support.

yeah, that's where mine are too. They still look high to me for some reason.


For $565, did you get rolled edges too?

Exactly, it also is going to depend on the vendor of the hood.
Some hoods made are very low quality and their clear is very thin. In time it basilcy just wears through.
Ive seen many Honda hoods like this, where they have lost all their shine completly.
