Hey man, I have the answer to allllll of your problems!!! I did the 98 conversion to my car, and when i rodered my CF hood, they sent me the hood for the 95-96, so i'm trying to get rid of it. The hood comes from VIS and brand new is $700.00. I'll give it to you for $400.00. It's brand new, never even been on the car. Not one flaw anywhere!!!!! You can see in the pictures how glossy the hood is. I'll take some better ones and then post them as soon as I get them taken ok.

Heh... I got my CF hood from them. It's shitty. I hate it. Chipped at some of the edges, doesn't fit properly, and doesn't have any holes prepared for the wiper nozzles and rod that holds up the hood. Also the hood is very flimbsy. I'll have pics up in a couple days.
yea i saw dan's hood. that shit is falling a part. no good <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':angry:'> btw i have fiber image cf hood....way better.

My e-mail reply to Autoaxis, O.E.Tuning's distributor, to give you an idea of what I went through with them:
Actually your service wasn't very impressive so I won't be leaving a positive feedback. In fact I'm thinking about giving negative feedback. First of all, you guys said that my order would be shipped out last Friday at the latest, but it wasn't shipped out until the following Monday. Second, you asked me to pay the $60 shipping fee when I had already included it in my payment. That was resolved but it shouldn't have happened in the first place. Third, I specifically asked you if the hood will be delivered to my home, and you told me yes. It turns out I had to either go pick it up myself at Yellow Freight's delivery terminal or call them to schedule a delivery from them. Fourth, I am very dissatisfied with the hood. It is unbelievably flimbsy and cracked at various edges of the hood. Also the sides of the hood don't line up with the fenders and leave a very visable gap. There's also a visable gap betweet the hood and the headlights with the hood fully closed. I will have pictures for you another day.
Oh wow, sounds like O.E. Tuning is pretty shit. Thanks for the heads up, now I know one more place to stay away from. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/butbut.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':but:'>
