People -

Because I don't value my children, I'm willing to consider a carbon fiber roof. HOWEVER, it would be nice if the style of CF on the roof was available for the hood. All the 3rd party products have a very tight weave while the hood.... does not.
Thoughts? Suggestions?

Am I being to OCD? Would having it be matchy matchy look bad? ACK

Which one have you seen? The only one that I've seen that look decent is the Varis Arising.

It's pretty, but I'm too old to pull it off. :)

HOOD QUEST UPDATE:

Used my VPN to search carbon fiber hoods for the Yaris in Japan as a starting point. Tegiwa wanted customers to know that their CF hood was 2 kg heavier than the Yaris' bc the Yaris hood is aluminum.

Just did the magnet test. GR hood is also aluminum.

This is a reminder that after 2 years of drooling and fortune, I really don't know enough about my car. How do we get an engineer / product expert to give us the full low down on the great creature?
