| I would go wil bBist or MotorFX hoods! Both are good quality and and back up by many happy costomers. I myself have a bBist dual vented CF hood. Fits great and looks awesome! I used to have a bBist OEM style CF hood and that too was awesome in fitment and quality. |

| I've had a couple of cf hoods, and IMHO, the bBist.com hoods are the best fitting and don't flutter when you're driving on the highway at 75+ mph. |

| Speaking of CF, is their other colors other than black? I thought I saw a red CF somewhere, but I could be mistaken. |

I know the colored ones are more expensive. Though, it's nice to know that are other options colorwise. |

I was actually wondering if there was a blue one out there somewhere cuz eventually I would like to buy one that's blue to match my blue accents. |
