Trust me...I am fussy as well
I am Duane and I'm the carbon guy.
I also will not put anything on my car unless it is of the highest quality which is why I can say you will be happy with what I can do for you.
The hood brand is CFX aka carbonfibrefx.com. You can check out pictures there. Notice that other sites post pictures that are taken from a distance. We take close-up pictures as we like to show our quality.
We have rolled edges which keeps the rigidity, custom latches (would not be required in this case) and showroom finish. The carbon can be painted if you like but they come with a shiny finish. We could also make fibreglass.
Fit: The fit of these hoods are perfect. Again I stress this as I too am very picky on how things fit. The hoods are actually 1mm larger all around since we take a mold off the OEM hood. Again this will give it a rolled edge (unlike most manufacturers that cut the edges then sand them to look like rolled edges).
If you go under the home page and see what makes CFX better/different than anyone else, you will see the edges and underside etc...
How we can make them: The carbon fiber hoods can be made two ways: We can put 2 layers of carbon fiber with a fibreglass backing or 1 layer of carbon with a cloth which you see on our site.
The Porsche hoods have double carbon but most of our hoods have the cloth on back. Really depends on what you want.
If you have any questions feel free to post and as I said either Nomad or I can help you out. I am not just a carbon guy but a Turbo, boost and car fanatic also
NOTE: I hope this post is ok for me to make.
Pricing will depend on how many people order. I will first need to look at a hood (I'll look at Nomad's later and take pictures) so I get a price together.
Your weight savings will be as Nomad said - between 35 - 40 lbs give or take a little. I would guess your GN hood to be around 62 pounds or a little less.
For a few good pics of some work that are not in teh gallery, here is a section where you can find them on the site.
