I got mine from USP Motorsport. They are forum sponsor.
Well worth $80!

Yeah I agree. I miss the sound of V8 grawl and ease of work/maintenance compare to 997TT.

The fitment is very good as an aftermarket hood. I would say 9.5 out of 10 scale but 10 would be possible with little work.
Yes they have two types of OEM style. Single layer standard carbon fiber with clear coat($1600+) and dry carbon($2200+). Mine is a dry carbon. Looks very cool. Here is a close pic of my hood. Not a great pic but you have an idea.
