WellI gotta say, it certainly was worth the wait. It's the Mussa (Motor Impact) Vented CF hood. Fitment is great. The weave depending on how you look at it is excellent. At different angles it appears to have flwas, but I really think it's the way the light hits it. A handfull of little little modifications had to be done. The hinge bolts are SAE 1/4-20, 2 are 1/2" long and 2 are 3/8" long, not the stock. I had to elongate the the bolt holes on the hood latch to lower the latch, easy with a Dremel. And a a small adjustment (lowering) on the rubber stops. Next steps are hood pins an adjustable prop, and drilling the holes for the washer nozzles. Here's a few pics-

I wasn't a big fan of CF, but now I'm starting to dig it. Did the washer nozzles and vent mesh this morning.

It was a private sale (used 2 weeks)-$485 shipped & insured. Not a bad deal, IMO.
