i don't think carbon fiber is very popular with people who have f-body's. i don't think they would make alot of money which is prolly why

there is nothin wrong with painting over the cf weave. its really only in the import world that they leave the cf weave visible (unless its an interior peice). plenty of exotics use cf but they paint it, so you never know.

if the whole hood wasn't exposed CF then id like it, with the scoops in CF. if I had a NBM or MRM T/A, then id get a CF hood from VFN with the nostrils in exposed CF

i dont think it would be popular enough to make. especially exposed, and then iof your gonna paint it what is the point of carbon fiber. my hood is light enough , i dont think it is any more then 25-30 lbs

true, but every few lbs's off the front helps and the c/f is way stronger then fiberglass, so in an essence c/f is the better product, maybe not the preffered, but better.

A CF hood would be expensive, especially if it had a scoop or anything like that.

I think it would look great, and you'd be saving an assload of weight.
