kc911 is infamous around these parts
There was one for sale on Rennlist not too long ago. Also do a search on Rennlist there is a guy in a shop in Canada who sells them. The Performance Parts Spring 06 catalog has them on special for $595. If you get one please post your experience. I am thinking about it but I have fit concerns; guess I have seen too many ricers w/ CF hoods that don't fit well.

I have a carbon fiber hood from Getty Design. It fit very well and came in perfect condition. All facotry mounts and bolt were reused.

It was 799 plus shipping. Fit is 99% perfect. The gaps are all even but the left side is slightly (mm's) raised. I think my body guy will be able to adjust it and make it perfect.

Its just a factory style hood:

Jaded will you be painting it the body color? If so, can you post pics of the finished product?

No problem about posting some pictures. I havent decided if im doing it body color yet since I am doing the top of the car black. Since my car is a targa there are perfect lines at the windshield and back of the hatch that I can paint to. The rest of the top is glass and will be tinted black.

I havent decided if I will carry the black down the hood or paint it. But there will be pictures either way. Ill try and shoot some with it on there now.
