Thoughts on Carbon Fiber Hood?

I have been debating for a good while now on whether I should get a hood or not. I already have a carbon fiber trunk, so I thought the hood would complete that. My hood is also getting worse it has a few chips in it and a few odd discolored paint spots. So I thought a carbon fiber ams style hood would be my best option

Up to your budget but you would have to vinyl the roof!

I think that hood looks good. Anyone know if these are plug and play or do you have to change the mounts/latch etc...?

If you're going the carbon fiber route, I honestly really like the autokits hood..

I ordered that exact hood one time and it took 2 months for these guys to tell me they couldn't even do carbon fiber. I was extremely disappointed in their service. I had already paid for it and everything. So I turned around and bought exhaust instead.

I don't think you are going to save much weight by changing it (alum hood), BUT, for the "second kind of cool" (as Nutinfancy calls it) factor, I think it will look great with the trunk. Then get the roof done.
