Re: CF hoods
Erebuni has been around for a long time, I've seen body kits from them go onto award winning show cars. I've never had personal experience with a carbon hood of theirs, but I'm pretty sure it's going to be a middle grade product. Questions you should ask them/find out about their CF hoods:
1) Does it have an underside skeleton? and what's the underside made of?
2) Does the hood have rolled edges?
3) What is the grade quality for the Fabric?
4) What kind of resin is used in construction.
Low quality hoods don't have an underside skeleton, good ones have carbon skeletons. Low quality edges are just cut and/or exposed. There is such thing as Grade A fabric, you can even ask them the weave, good quality hoods use higher count weaves, and lastly good hoods use Epoxy resins, not polyester.
