Default Carbon fiber ss hood quality?

I am considering this hood, does anyone know about this sellers hoods or other similar ones that are good quality and fit decently?

I have a white car and would prefer this to having to have a hood painted, so was looking for someone who might know of this seller or this particular piece.

Thanks

I was reading and found if I wanted to keep the new quality id have to get another coat of clear put on it.

I would get it painted if it got too bad but I think the carbon fiber on a white car would look nice.

Does the Carbon fiber SS hood weigh less than the fiber glass SS hood?

DO you plan on painting it in anyway?

If you plan on staying with the raw CF look then a clear coat will help prevent fading A LOT.
