Quest Power CF hood is great but very expensive.
Sessions also make a awesome CF hood expensive
Fiber Images make a CF hood but fitment is crappy.
I know a guy Jason who has a CF hood on white GS in New York fitment is not good.
I may get 1 if I sell my GS430 & get a 01GS3 sport design dark grey mica w/blk. wood. & piping= Turbo SRT stage 3![Wink](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/wink.gif)

I have a mold to make Carbon fiber bolt on hoods for 98 and newer GS's. I had it done for my racecar. Looks really good. When we made the mold we actually molded in the TTE Grill, so it is all one piece. I will try to post some pics by next week of a completed one ready to bolt on. Email me if anyone is interested. My carbon guy is one of the best. Does all of the carbon fiber for most of the badest race cars in the country.
