Smile G35 Carbon Fiber Hood / G35 Fiberglass Hood shipping costs

Do you offer any type of rain guard that prevents water from going into the engine bay? If so, are the guards already incorporated into the hood or do you have to separately mount them to the hood? I know that TS / Seibon style hoods don't have rain guards to prevent water from going into the engine bay.

What is the quality of your fiberglass hoods? I know that carbon fiber will always be sturdy and the reason why I ask about fiberglass versions is because I own the Hikkata Dori hood and it is wafer thin, to a point where I can push down on it with one finger and it will flex. See post here:

Also, what can members expect to pay, shipping wise? I was quoted $900 for my hood, unshipped to me in Texas and then an additional $125 shipped to me. That's over 1k in a hood alone. I could upgrade my valve body, get a plenum spacer, and other small minor engine upgrades for less then that.
Our fiberglass hoods are pretty solid, they weigh about 20% more than their Carbon Fiber counterparts. I don't really have any way of proving how thick they are, I should make a youtube video to show the build quality of the FRP hoods (once I figure out how to use lightworks or some decent video editor).

Our default shipping price is $169. My actual cost is anywhere from $109 (business address in CA) to $196 (residential in FL).

Our FRP hoods are $284.05 / $331, + $169 shipping. So about $475 Shipped on average.
