I am ordering the RC-F this coming Friday at my local dealership. I am ordering the performance package with CF. Since they don't have any such models in inventory, I started looking around in Google images to figure out best color schemes, etc. When I first saw this example I thought that was the CF package, i.e. with the CF hood. So disappointed that it isn't. So given that, has anyone explored the cost/options of the CF hood? I'm sure a fabricated CF hood will come along at some point and I'm sure it won't be inexpensive. CF hoods for a G37, for example, start at about $550. CF overlay on the OEM hood is an option but I think would be cheesy and low-budget for an $80K Lexus. Does anyone have info on CF hood for the RC-F?
Varis has a CF hood coming out, but expect it to be 3-4k, if not more. Seibon is developing one as well and I'd expect it to be considerably less. The Seibons that I've been around always seem to turn a yellowish tint after being out in the sun for a year or two. I'm just guessing here, but I bet AIMGAIN is developing something too.

The Varis..
Looks like a bad civic hood, it does not even have a clear on it. I would stick with the Lexus one and I don't think it matters if it's a US car or not the hood should be the same, also the roof and wing are going to be different then the hood.
I actually have asked a dealer 2 days ago in Cherry Hill New Jersey he said it's possible to get OEM wing and hood but you won't like the price at all... wing costs $3,200 hood costs around $15,000.
For me I am only interested in the wing not the hood but for sure not paying $3,200 for one worst case I will just wrap mine in black (not a fan of CF wraps I find them fake for a reason).
