The point has been made, so I was Thanking instead of posting it, but to add a personal experience, I have NEVER found an all carbon fiber hood.

I also notice they never post the weight. All of the "carbon fiber" hoods I have searched have said in small print that they are fiberglass, with carbon fiber exterior or print added. This brought me to confusion if any really existed, or if a standard cf part was mixed with fiber glass.

I tend not to research awesome technology if it's possible for me to do something like, say, buy carbon fiber and make a hood...lol
