need your pics of ram-air carbon fiber hoods

I am thinking of getting one, kinda like the Kaminari, but need some pics and suggestions and opinions from those who have them. And pics of other brands to compare.
How's the quality?
How's the fit?
I don't want to have a big gap in the front near the upper grill.
Cost?
Where you purchased from?
Did you need hood pins?
Are you using stock mounts?
Were they drilled for the windshield washers?
Thanks for any info.

That's nice, can you answer my questions please?
Also, did you get the full carbon fiber hood?
Do you have a close up pic of the finish?
Is it UV protective?
