I just got the Trufiber SH GT in Carbonfiber and love the look.I think the Venom looks good as well.

here's a few pics of my car with the new hood and carbonfiber mirror caps also from TF

thanks for getting back to me. personally, im not a fan of carbon fiber hoods, while they save weight i just think its a bit much and also i dont like how far back the inlet openings are on that particluar hood. the reason i liked the venom hood was cause of how far up they were towards the front of the car. ive actually found the hood im gonna go with, its the Saleen Superflow hood. found it on 281 Motorsports.

The Venom hood looks real good and all the cars you see on Trufibers website belong to my friends.I've seen that Saleen hood in person on a white 2011 GT and it looks killer.

as far as weight I would say the CF hood is atleast 5-10lbs lighter then the stock hood.
I like the cowl hoods because they just scream muscle and that's what I ran on my Fox 5.0

Gorgeous. Looks very muscular. Kind of Boss 429-esque.
