150 bucks for shipping is pretty normal. But personally I have had bad experiances with ebay CF hoods. Actually now that I think about it shipping should be more around 80 bucks. Oh well.

i think your paint is dope! you should get a

full CF interior instead, a-b-c pillars, dash trim, dash pad rear deck, headliner. now that would be dope it would match nicely. then get rsx seats black leather ohhhhh i could go on and on

anything is possible with money and a little bit of style. if you dont care about weight savings then really CF hood will not improve your cars look at all. go with the interior just my 0.02

be carefull of the chinese knock offs people sell one ebay.

Just saw a story the other day on the news that 80% of the chinese economy is based off of counterfit goods imported into other countries but mostly the U.S.

I had one....then the carbon fiber part split off the frame it was GLUED to when I was on the highway. It shot straight up in the air when I was going 90. It lasted about a year. Pay the extra buck and get quality.
