            I haven't seen anyone with a CF hood in years and years.
            That's the first thing you should do even thought it looks like trash but you guys
            want a sun roof every time.

            Riced out shit like door handles and little nick nacks shift knob. Ebay rice warriors.
            A billet carbon fiber crank or carbon fiber tires would be great.

                I'd love one, and a matching CF trunk, but I'd paint it I'd love the ~20-30 pounds or whatever off the nose of the car!

                I keep hearing that the commercially available ones don't fit very good anyway...

                  I've had a CF hood for the last 8 years. a good quality hood is going to cost $1500 at least.

                      Yeah, definitely not me : no space, no experience, but "how hard could it be?"
                      I thought CF's stiffness was one of the inherent selling points, couldn't that eliminate the need for ribs?

                        Also, are people being serious when they say "billet carbon fiber" or am I extra trollable tonight?
