Default TRUCARBON Hood

Wondering if anyone has purchased this hood from this company. Its a bit pricey ($1200.00) for it but looks as if it does not require any adjustment/fitment.

Pics if possible. Thanks.

$1200 for a hood that requires pins, and is not 100% CF...I wouldn't buy it. Other than that, it looks like all the other ws6 copies out there.

It doesn't require pins, fitment is okay but not perfect like most carbon fiber hoods.

The hood is carbon fiber with a fiberglass underlay.

Default pins

cf hoods do need hood pins. anything over 80mph.....you are risking the hood from flying off. may not happen at first but the stress fractures are present till its to late.
