Well I'm painting mine when I get a chance. But I am guessing the reason why is because he either dont like the look of carbon fiber or he no one to know for theft security.
both are nice...i had order an grade A VIS hood off ebay...it was decent quality but got cracked in the shipping....so id recommend a local shop or the companys or a qualified distributor....it will save you a headache and alot of arguing with the shipping service lol....but good luck cant wait to see pics of the hood on the car :rocks:
spoon sports also makes a hood for the jdm sir-G which is a usdm integra as for the price i dont know. you could contact inlinefour.com they deal with spoon sports directly
