I put your thread title in the search box and it immediately went to this thread: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...t=Carbon+Fiber

So don't try and convince me you searched

In the thread that O.L.T. linked to someone said Seibon hoods and such are knockoffs and not quality-minded....I call BULL*****. They may be design copies, but the quality is phenominal! Friend of mine has an OEM-style CF hood on his 2005 STi....the Seibon hood fits better than the factory one! It is absolutely excellent.

Sounds like someone forgot to put the UV inhibitor in the resin.

and is cracking on both sides along the edges for some reason
Is your CF hood the lightweight one piece race style that uses pins or the slightly heavier two piece that uses the factory latch?

Go with authentic Vertex carbon fiber, the only problem with Vertex is the price but your getting 150% quality, and great OEM fit.
