I still think it's a shame that certain states require people to drill holes in their bumpers for ugly license plates

The carbon fiber hood looks especially good on TCM. The color contrast is not contrive. Very nice! I will have to get one for mine.

What is the weight difference between the CF hood and the OEM -- does anyone know?

Thanks for sharing.

I agree. Not too much of a color difference. Not sure on the exact weight difference but I can definitely tell there is a difference when I was installing mine.

How straight was the hood? I've seen quite a few carbon fiber hoods at car shows that weren't all that straight. Lots of them had dips and waves in them.

I bought it used but in great condition saturday. I can't verify on what type of hood it is, but its double sided and i paid 160 for it, a great deal.

Hood looks great! I have ordered a license plate relocator so that I don't have to drill out the front. If you don't have the front plate in CA you can be pulled over and the rest of your car inspected.........
