its not even close to the c-one style. But regardless, looks pretty sick. Im not a big fan of flashy vents and overkill kits, but that is pretty clean. I wonder if its fairly functional as well, but overall i would be skeptical on weather its real fiber or not seeing how there is such a shortage right now. I cant really see some new company being able to offer such a competitive initial start-up price.

Beautiful! PLEASE let me know what "Minor modifications" you need to do? I have some fitting probs on the right front side with my CF hood and am looking for a simple solution.
Again great hood dude!!

minor modifications needed were:
to cut out another notch for the hood latch to fit. It was a few mins of playing with it and wondering why it wouldnt latch. Then a few more mins of dremmel action to cut out a notch.
then there was the prop hole was too small. more dremmeling.
then finally there was a little bit too much resin around the pre-cut holes for the washer nozzles. I didn't have the nerve for this cut, but I trusted my friend had.
other than that. it was a little to close on the driver side, but there wasnt much wiggle room for the hood, so we loosened up the fender a bit and pulled it out slightly and tightened it back up.
Thanks to all that helped me out that day!
Oh and I had the whole hood covered in one sheet of clear bra and custom cut.

Heh before I get accused to thread jacking. You got B@lls or steel to take a knife to the hood! Better man than I Mine came with no pre-cut holes for the washer nozzles and I am terrified to cut them myself.
Looks like this Vented hood is pretty cool. If I had unlimited funds I would have one made with a vent on the front left side and make a mold to get the air right to the CAI!
Could happen!
