I am thinking about purchasing a carbon fiber hood. I was wondering what type of brands i should look for. i would also like to know how much $$$ they run for.

C-West is top quality and top dollar to boot.

I have the seibon vented hood and its nice as hell. The price wasnt bad but i got it on a deal from one of the vendors here at I-club. Only had slight fitment issues where the hood bolts to the arms on the body, also if you plan to run the stock scoop on the vented be ready to make some slight modification (drilling some stuff). Other than that the hood is awesome

ill have to agree with sigma. If you feel the weight of a CF hood to that of stock there is not much difference, but with the vented ones you can at least get better cooling from it.
