Carbon fiber hood

Looking on buying a CF Hood for the 4th gen, any suggestions on where to purchase it? Any reviews on the redlinemax.com hood?

Thanks ...

yeah, it's too bad they're discontinued and you'll have to buy it used (fiberimages). but that means you can purchase one that already has the hood pin locations drilled and you won't have to worry about messing that up. good luck!

I have seen the redline hood in person and it looks dented and fake for some reason.

you can always get a hold of Maxmojo, he works with paradox systems. That's were I bought my cf hood. Haven't had problems, I couldn't fix on my own.

I found a local dealer that sells FiberImages but gave me a quote of $750, that's a little out of my range, was looking for something around $500.

Any other brand that's the same quality or just as good as FiberImages?

Avoid Redline hoods like the plague. I had one on my '02 and it fit and looked like a$$.
