Carbon Fiber Hood Help.
Ok well I get all my stuff from a local audio guy. It's where I got my wheels, stereo, etc..
Anyways I told him I needed a GOOD Carbon Fiber hood, and he got back to me today and said $199 which sounds WAY too cheap right? Should I try this, and if it doesn't fit, get him to send it back?
I can get the hood clear coated for $50 from a guy I used to deal with Mustangs with...
Think I should get the hood for $199? Or what should I ask?

^ good idea. if you like it, just get extra clear coat on it - it saves a lot of bs with fogging and chipping for several more months than it would otherwise.

Rep Power: 0 Ok.. I'm going to make sure the hood wont fade or anything, by makin sure he'll replace it if it does.
The guy that can reclearcoat it for $50 said he will
ut another coat of clear coat on it, drill hood pin holes, drill washer nozel holes, and install everything for $100. So the hood will cost me around $300 for installation and everything.
