seibon is hard to beat as far as quality, fit, and price. just type seibon cf hood in the search, theres a few vendors that have them on sale now. u could shoot SupremeCVR a pm, thats where ill be getting mine from as soon as i can decide what i want. plan on around 6-7 bills +/- shpping.

I recently had a Seibon OEM-style hood installed due to a similar 'incident' with my stocker. The fit was decent and I was told that 'for a CF hood' it was quite good. The only thing I didnt like about the hood was the vent mesh is this silver metal that reminds me of some kind of gutter guard or something. Im going to paint it black so it shouldnt stand out too much. From the looks of it, it would be impossible to transfer the stock mesh over to the new hood.

Mine ended up being about $640 shipped and installed by a local shop.

Easy way to take care of that bit of ugly is to remove the hood and mask it really well. Then get some flat black spray paint and have at it. A couple of coats should be just fine. If worried about heat get something that has a high resistance like caliper paint. It takes care of that problem really quick. I do the same thing to my windshield wiper arms when they start to peal, crack, or chip.
