They have a nice surface if you want to paint them and seem to fit well. I recommend the fiber front hood if you want to add hood vents, as an uncut steel hood is now worth maybe $1500; a perfect rear deck over $4000. Customized front & rear steel units are worth what you can get.... The composite parts are also quite light compared to the steel parts.

If the "carbon-fiber" hoods and deck lids are only fiberglass, why are they so expensive compared to regular fiberglass pieces?
