yes, reasoning:
1. Extremely lightweight - like 6 pounds.
2. Looks good
3. Lightweight = Less weight = Better takeoffs
4. Looks good

My vote is also Yes.
Just make sure it's pretty good quality , cuz I've seen some cheap cf hood's and they start getting cracks and don't look as nice.

I've had my CF for a year, and haven't had one complaint.
I know I'm not a lexus owner, BUT everyone with a CF that I know, loves it.

I don't know about ebay
If I were you I'd find a good aftermarket manufacture.
