Best Place for a CF hood?

My Civic got vandalized the other day. This guy threw a crowbar at my car. Luckily, he is in jail right now for it. haha, idiot. Anyway, I figured I would replace the hood with a Carbon Fiber hood. I imagine they don't dent as easily and they are lighter.. plus, I wouldn't need to paint it. I need to get a cheap one.. Less then $400, I am thinking. It's 6th gen (1999). Where would be the best place to find a good, cheap CF hood?

What do you think about these?

Carbon fiber will dent and if it doesnt then it will crack, i dont like VIS and as for Fiber image there is good, but ill go for Kamanari thats the best as for my though.

It won't dent as easily as Honda's metal hoods though will it?

Do you think there would be anything wrong with the ones I linked in the first post? I am planning on getting one of those... unless someone thinks there is something wrong with them..

Is there any place to get good cheap parts other than eBay? I know computers have pricewatch.. I was wonder if there was something like that for car parts. Because modacar and sites like that are really expencive.

Thanks guys.. I appreciate it!
