    CF hood

    Are there any styles (companies) selling carbon fiber hoods that will fit an 04 corolla S, and what do they usually run? The only one i found is made by some cheap company for $200. Do they also fade if they arent protected with a certain chemical?

    Woow, $200 is a steal!
    It usually cost around $350 to $450 plus shipping.

    Damn! $200, thats cheap.

    I think they do fade if their not protected. It should come coated though, but then again it does cost $200 bucks.

    yep, I concur. $200 is hella cheap.
    I'm not to sure on the fading of the carbon fiber, but I know of
    some cases in where the clear coat starts flaking, in those cases
    you can sand the hood down and re-clear the hood. I was kind of
    shocked at the quality of most carbon fiber hoods and decided not to
    get one.

    I dont mind if they do fade. I'll just sand it and paint it. It's hella cheap man.
