Exclamation Carbon Fiber Hood ?

Is there any company that has already developed a carbon fiber hood for the IS-F? Or is this something that I should get done custom? If so, could anyone suggest a good place to get this done?

I searched on the forum and saw that NEEZ had one on a is-f showcar (https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=360836), but I couldn't find information about them selling cf hoods on their website or anywhere..

I love the way cf hoods look, but do you all think the CF would look good with an Ultrasonic IS-F?

Thanks in advance.

I personally think it would! I am thinking about a carbon fiber hood, roof and trunk for my Mercury Metallic

it would look nice if you painted the carbon fiber hood the same color an flaired it out somewhere...maybe the vents or the sides...that would look CRAZY!

Didn't one member (Cathafer?) mention that Seibon was coming out with a complete line of CF products for the ISF? I haven't seen anything official, though.

Any word on when they would be released?
