Initially, carbon fiber (aka carbon) features high strength-to-weight ratio and outstanding rigidity. The material is also referred to as graphite-reinforced polymer (aka graphite fiber-reinforced polymer – GFRP), which is less common as it clashes with either glass-reinforced or glass-fiber-reinforced polymer. In commercials, it's sometimes referred to simply as graphite fiber. Improved manufacturing techniques reduce the costs and time to produce, making the compound common in small consumer goods such as tripods, hockey sticks, fishing rods, paintball and archery equipment, tent poles, drum shells, helmets used as a paragliding accessory, just to name a few. Notwithstanding its relatively expensive cost, carbon fiber is extensively used in aerospace and automotive fields, including Formula One Racing.

Great Product
VIS Racing® 08SBWRXHBSTI-010C - STI Style Carbon Fiber Hood
Overall, I am very happy with this hood. It looks great and fits well. It does leave a bit of a gap between the hood and the fender but its not a big deal for me. Installation was fairly straight-forward and can be done without professional knowledge. You will need to drill some holes to anchor the windshield washer lines as well as for the hood scoop duct on the inside. I ended up not transferring the rubber weather strip in the front and the plastic scoop for the intake. For the price, it's a great replacement hood since you dont need to repaint it. However, I would recommend to have it clear-coated within a few months of getting it to prevent any yellowing and as a extra layer of protection.
