I dealt with carbon innovation through ebay. They were great and I was able to talk to them over the phone and email.

NEED MORE PICS OF YOUR HOOD!!! I was thinking about doing the same thing to my torch red. (If I decide on getting the fusion hood)

i have emailed most the guys on the auction site regarding the Fuzion hood. the cheapest i have found was 738 i believe with 150 shipping. he is the only guy to respond saying he cannot go any lower since he is the lowest on the market.

i believe other forum members have bought from ebay, some are hit or miss. i'll have to go thru and look at who those good guys were..

How about Need for Speed Carbon on ebay. They seem to have the lowest price on the high rise hood now. Just wanted to see if anyone has purchased from then.
