The cheap carbon fiber hoods are not normally 100% carbon fiber, some of them don't even have any carbon fiber but dyed fiber glass or dyed pollyester cloth.
Other cheap carbon fiber hoods have a plastic, metal or fiber glass core, very few of them have stress points that crack or fold if you do get in a head on collision, I like metal hoods because they are designed to fold instead of cutting my head off.
