Best bang-for-your-buck carbon fiber hood?

Hey all,

I recently got my hood dented at the front crease by an unidentified, small object while driving on the freeway. It looked like it flew out the pickup truck I was driving behind. This thing also managed to crack my left kidney grill. All I can say is that it could’ve been worse seeing how something so little did that kind of damage to that part of my hood.

That being said, I’m looking into replacing the hood with a carbon fiber one.

Any suggestions on which one to get and who sells it?

Thanks in advance.

I saw someone in the states had one for $750USD last year, but I'm not sure who, and I'm not sure what they were charging for domestic shipping.
Anyway, shop around

I'm awaiting delivery for mine - I expect you'll get yours for less than half what I paid (seems shipping to Australia is slow and expensive... who would've thought?)
