Default Low priced carbon fiber hoods?

I am looking for some place that sells low priced, good quality carbon graphite hoods. I don't want to do any special drilling, just a simple take off original hood, put on new hood install.

All carbon fiber things cost a lot, and you dont wanna cheap out because they look horrible after a little while if they are made cheaply.

Indeed. If you get a cheap one, odds are the clearcoat will start to wear off faster and not last as long. I knew a guy who had one on his Cobalt SS and it was cheap, and after a year or so some of the clearcoat was just like.. Fading off, and this one spot it showed the actual carbon. It looked good for that year lol..

Well, you could always put some more coats of clear on yourself, but.. I'd rather buy top notch quality.
