is it just me or does this carbon fiber seem a little dull in color? from the looks of the other CF hoods.... they look darker then this one? can you verify if it is a lighter shade of CF? if its just me and my terrible eye sight then i could be interested!

"also the reason for the split down the middle."
Explain that please.
The split down the middle is because the rolls are only SO my inches wide. If they had used say 8' wide rolls the entire hood would be covered in one piece of material. Instead they use 4' wide rolls in 2 pieces. I doubt this has anything to do with the carbon/kevlar material unless it's unavailable in 8' wide rolls.
Just as this hood uses 3 pieces.
The support of the hood is made of FRP, the skin is most likely FRP with a carbon-kevlar overlay.
