Default carbon fiber hood?

does anyone have one installed? brand? can we retain factory locking mechanisms or hood pins/latches?

entertaining idea where to go with my car thought i'd ask, my car is black and I always loved cf/black combo

I have one, came on the car at purchase. Not sure of the brand, fitment is Ok. all normal hardware and attachment points used. Seals just fine.

You may want to hit someone up for their worn out front hood struts. The carbon fiber is so light, it's going to take a fair amount of force to shove it closed with hood struts in good shape, but a pair that doesn't hold the stock hood up anymore would probably be perfect.

There was a member on here selling them. MJSpeed was his username, iirc he made them in Florida from the thread I saw. I remember thinking they looked very nice and used the factory mounting/latch.
