If it is carbon its worth it. I love the hood, if it is cb it will make me feel better to spend the $. Great news. I have not herd back from stage 3... I will check in with them tomorrow.

Once the hood is painted it will be over $2k. It does look nice but you can get other functional hoods, also with the same style louvers, for half the price. Of course maybe it is worth an xtra $1k for the butterflys for the "old school" carb. look if your that into the retro thing.

2 things make me think it isnt carbon fiber: 1. techco doesnt advertise it as carbon fiber and if it was they would be stating that in their description as a selling point. 2. the pics show it painted and from what Ive seen most all carbon fiber is left unpainted to show off that its carbon fiber.

I see at the mfr website that they make matching 1/4 scoops. Now if you are going to get the hood then you also need to get the scoops to complete the look.
