how much was the fiber images hood? do they still make it or is it a limited run like the trunklids? do the vents and scoop come off?

IIRC Fiber Images doesn't make the vents and scoop.

The scoops and vents on the fiberimages hood are made by fiberimages, and come with the hood. Whiplash's FiberImages hood shows in more detail how nice it is than my track shots.

I dont remember exactly what the name of it is.But I ordered a full CF hood (no fiberglass) with CF skeleton from Japan.IOt was a little over 700 for just the hood.But it is the best I could find.I should have it like next week or so but i'll try to find out what the name was again.

Key thing is it will weigh around 10lbs or so, actually has a skeleton unlike the PKzero one that I hear is just a skin and is make to exact spec of the stock hood so it fits perfectly.
