Default carbon fiber sunoco hood

so ive been wanting one but there is nobody making them!
now i have the ability to have a local carbon fiber place make one but that would end up with a large cost for one hood
is anybody else interested?
im sure if there is enough desire we can make this happen !!

They have some CF stuff (although it looks like they just distribute this stuff, not make in house)...

http://vfnfiberglass.com/carbonfiberstore.htm

and they already have the mold for the hood. As long as you don't want something super pretty (assuming they are not set up to vacuum bag) but just want something light I'm sure you could pay them to do it way cheaper than someone else from scratch...

Oh I only ask because I was talking to a Tru-Fiber employee at a local car show and I was asking him if they could make that hood in carbon fiber... He told me to give him a call, I just havent had a chance to.

But yeah Ill be the first buyer, cash in hand, when that hood is ready!
