Default Carbon Fiber

Does anyone out there know if there is a carbon fiber ram air hood available for 98-02 trans ams? I ran into some problems with my factory hood and just checking to see if there is carbon fiber of good quality out there for our cars before I buy a new hood and spray it.


THanks guys

Please leave it un-painted. Id love to flame you for it.

And then you'd go from being a stock TA to a super fast ricer.
