Can't get a nice CF Hood...
I saw this nice CF Hood on ebay, and I'd like to put it on my car, but it has one fatal flaw! - It is not drilled with Windshield Sprayer Mounting Holes! I can't use a hood that won't let me have my sprayers! Is this common with most CF Hoods?
Do most hoods require you to drill them yourself for the Sprayers mounts? Is it a tough job / you can easily mess up and damage the hood? ANY DIY article anywhere on this?
And then do CF hoods easily wear out in the Sun? I live on Houston with really hot summers!

RE: Can't get a nice CF Hood...
sigh.............ebay cf hoods are fail. Just spend the money and get a VIS seibon or other name brand. the ebay ones lose the clear coat and have really poor latches. And i dont think they have sprayers anyway. Id take it to a body shop to drill...that way if they screw it up, its their fault

RE: Can't get a nice CF Hood...
But I like the exact style of this ebay hood! The vents over the headers will suck out hot air! - Just what I want! Do you know of any other CF hood with similar vents?
I had 3 emails with the seller. Last one - he didn't respond to my request for the brand name so I can email the mfg'r to put sprayer holes.
Even if the clearcoat fades I do like painting over the CF Hood anyways because I don't like the contrasting colors of a black CF Hood to my Red Car. And if I got this, I guess I'd use the hood pins then. But I mostly drive 65 mph max, unless there's a 70 to 80 mph speed limit, then I'd drive as fast as everyone around me.
