$350.00 for a CF MK3 hood.
Its local so I may go over and scoop it up. Is it a good price for a used CF hood?

Yes... its a good deal... Considering brand new, they are 650-750... As long as it isnt broken, cracked or trashed...

Would you know how easy it is to paint CF? Does the paint need any additives to paint CF parts or? Im not into the look of CF hoods but if I can paint it to match the car, so you cant tell its CF but yet take advantage of its weight, id go for it.

Keep the hood CF and get with Duane on some CF light covers... DONT paint it... Lose the weight somewhere else if you're that concerned...

If you really want a matching hood, keep yours, and let someone who loves the CF look buy that hood... There is a HUGE HUGE HUUUUUGE CF shortage right now... If you paint that hood you're waisting it...

my 2 cents...

Sure.

Where can you get one though.
That is my question too. Fiberglass hoods are very big in the aftermarket world, just not for us.:nono:

Much lighter than stock, and not a retail rip off like carbon fiber.

Duane still makes a FG hood, IIRC... I can't see why he wouldn't be making one now, especially with the CF shortage.
