Just wanted to see what CF hoods you guys have on the Solara.
Tell me how the quality is.
Just checkin' to see if i can get a CF hood or not if it's cheaper than the OEM hood painted DWP.
Thanks.

I heard VIS is pretty good.
I dunno if CarbonCreations has anything for our cars though..
where many hate, few will love,
But for those who love,
they'll see what it's like to live.
