Default Tom's Dry Vented Carbon Hood

I need to own this hood! Someone please direct me where I can get it. I usually don't go for vented hoods, but the shape and design of this thing is absolutely stunning. I remember from way back IMC used to make a hood very similar to this one but then IMC went out of business.

Its not quite the vent I like as much as grooves around the headlights. I just noticed K-Break's FRP hood has similar grooves and has S-Class style vents at the top. I think actually Iike this one better

close, $6,136.36 + tax + shipping from Carson....although they are always a tad on the pricey side for everything if you can find another dealer or connection for it might be able to get it cheaper

Kind of the pricey for just a hood, although I know a lot of work, scarcity of it on the market, etc. Cost's more than my car when I first bought it
