Default Carbon Fiber hood

I like how the hood raises up in the middle like an ISF hood. It has good aggressive styling to it

Too bad the fiberglass hoods aren't out there! I mean I believe the CF is a look and when you paint over it, it's pointless, but I get it cause that hood doesn't come in fiberglass only. Sucks!

No, the hood has a water duct so when the car is parked it gets caught in the duct, then when you drive it falls out away from the engine. there is a total of three scoops on the hood & each one has the duct.

To anyone that is interested in the hood, I'm actually going to be selling the hood in December because i'm getting a 2015 IS350.. I'm going to part out the whole car. asking $500 for the hood + the trade of your OEM hood.
