your thoughts. Carbon Fiber WS9 style hood we should start a thread, done. We want a carbon fiber version of the exact WS9 hood, paintable, for our Trans Ams... yes?
VFN? Roger? You think this could ever be a possibility. Hell, I wish i could at least get a regular WS9 hood, for my TA!!! I cant find it anywhere, since Roger quit the production... Chime in TA guys!!!

Good luck with a carbon fiber hood anything. The price of CF is so ridiculous a lot of people won't make a new product out of it. It'd be too expensive to produce and sell on a massive level. VFN won't even cover the scoop on their 3in SS hood in CF for me...even if I supply it! You may be able to buy the WS9 hood, then the carbon fiber cloth, and pay someone to wrap it. That would still be VERY costly.
Another option would be using aluminized fiberglass. It is much cheaper and more available (but heavier). It is a little harder to work, but you'd get the same result for less money. I am going to use that for my interior pieces. However, I think I'll dish out the coin for the hood...but I'm only wrapping a scoop, not making a whole hood! Good luck!
