Sorry I cant help you with your search but do you realize how much a CF 
Hood would cost???? 
More than your car, thats for sure! At the moment, the cost for CF 
products is sky high. Give it a couple years when carbon fiber becomes 
more common on the market and the price will come down to a more 
realistic level. 
Now if you were to get into the CF molding business, that is a money 
maker! Getting into it is another story. Its not easy and the contacts 
are few and difficult to maintain. 
I'm sure that if you got enough money and want those items bad enough, 
somebody will make one for you, somewhere. 
Todd, you do this stuff to or do you just do the paint by numbers 
thing?  :)
