How many layers of carbon fiber are they going to use. and is it pure carbon fiber or is there a fiberglass core.

If they are selling it four under $1000 it is definitely not pure carbon.
The hoods we will be making are made from the same specs as aircraft. Currently, we construct dragster bodies out of this material. The dragster bodies are built to withstand 7-8 G's of downforce.
Hope this is helpful!

While I could probably sell these as pure carbon, you could never tell they are not, that would not be very honest. Some companies do misrepresent the content of their hoods.
