Default CF hood question

not sure if this is the proper spot to post this question, but i saw the cf hood forsale at a speed shop near me for an s2k. it looks like good quality but not sure. i think either fiber works or carbon works makes it not sure what the name was. the underside looks clean as hell, its like one peice suport and its clear coated giving it a gloss to it. my question is when u look threw the hole where the latch hook is u can see right threw the cf weave. is this normal?? it was also sprayed with fiberglass it looks like. also the hood seems very thing just buy being able to see light threw it and also u can push down on it very easily unlike other style hoods ive felt.

Sounds like a grade quality that you need to confirm. First find out who makes it and also confirm that it has rolled edges or if it's a straight edge.

If it's wet Carbon then it's layed across fiberglass, plastic or whatever they want to lay it across..

Need more info...

Did you try contacting them?..... some of the hoods have a VIS badge on them.

Do a search for VIS and decide it they have what you want.
