Dont know if this is a really good hood or not.

I have a seperate question, when buying a cf hood, do u need diff parts for it for opening the hood, or will the stock TI hood shocks will do?

Let me know if u guys think this is a good hood, im local, i could prob negotiate with them to get it cheaper, and just pick it up. Last time i offered them 360 and they said ok. the shipping kills!

I have no idea about the quality, but if anyone can vouch for this, or another better quality lightweight hood (regardless of price- fit and finish are primary concerns), I'd like to know. Actually, fit more than finish. I'll most likely paint it, and the carbon hood shown in the auction listing is waving like Miss America on pageant night. It needs to be skimmed and blocked anyway...

M A Shaw comes to mind, as his stuff tends to be top notch. Anyone have experience with his hood? (and does he ofer one for the ti? I think it's the same as the sedan, not the coupe)
