Best bet is to just call Mike at MCM and see what they can do for you. If you can get one you will be very pleased - great looks, quality and fit.

We have called for the past 3 months a number of times leaving messages asking them to return our calls. I got two people wanting them at my shop. I talked to a sales person from Eckler's and they told me that they have had no luck getting of hold of them.

I've left several messages over the past 7-10 days... No answer.. Plus, Corvette Garage has been calling them for months with no replies... It's not looking good

There was a post a while back saying that the airline industry and military are using all the carbon fiber up.

Well, it looks like this might be the way to go...

I agree completely. It's very reasonable, and if it's a good fit/quality hood, then I'm all for it.. I love the style, but I'd like to hear from a couple of people who have one.

You might also want to try a carbon fiber hood from Advanced Composite Products,Inc. (www.acproducts.us) They were up at Carlisle next to the hot tub display. Great fit and finish. Got one for my C5.
