Carbon Fiber Hood Scoops- Best to buy and colors?

I am lookign to get a CF hood schhop for my 02 WRX.

I am lookign to find out where I can purchase them from and what you guys think are the best types or people to purchase them from.

I see them on e-bay but don't know if I should trust them. I am also lookign for some in yellow/black or blue/black CF. I have a Blaze Yellow WRX and I am nto sure which would look the best. I have blue/black CF trim in the interior. But the yellow/black might look best on the outside.


Give me info and opinoins. Please

I believe that the colored 'fiber' is Kevlar rather than carbon.
Carbon is its own distinct color.

now that makes more sence, kevlar weaved in with carbon you can get a different color in there, yellow/black or red/black or blue/black. i haven't heard of other colors although they might be out there

and i don't believe i have ever seen anyone who has made hood scoops out of this stuff though. it might be out there though the material is about the same price as plain carbon fiber, maybe slightly higher, but not much
