Yep, cf replica of the GM hood...probably not functional. I don't think anyone has made the airbox to make these functional yet.

It's not actually a carbon fiber hood. It's just a fiberglass hood with a couple strips of carbon fiber laid on the top between and in front of the scoops, just for looks. I called and asked.
so pretty much what you see black in that pic is the only part of the hood that will be carbon fiber?

Thats a good question. I read the discription of the hood and I would be under the impression that it would be ALL carbon fiber. But if its only the back area that is carbon, then to me it shouldnt be called a carbon fiber hood.
If the hoods almost 600, anyone with a brain could figure out to save a few more bucks and get one from GM. At least you know you will not have a fit problem.
Thats my 2 cents.
hahaha 200 bucks more for the inlays.LOL
