Looks good.

What is the manufacturer's warranty on the clear coat over the carbon fiber? I've seen some aftermarket CF hoods that had issues with the clear peeling off the CF.

If I had to guess I would say no more than 2 lbs if that. They are very light.

I agree. I was getting ready to order this myself and stumbled on this thread. Your pictures answered all my questions. I have the spiral gray with the carbon creations carbon fiber rear ZR1 matching spoiler. This write up is outstanding. Thank you.
