Default Can Anyone Identify This Hood?
It's carbon fiber, but I can't find any manufacturer's marks anywhere on it. Just curious if someone might know which company made it.

Thanks!

Of course, right after posting I answered my own question ... I think.

Looks like it might be from Motor City Molds.

It looks like a MCM hood on the exterior and if it has a nice smooth finish under the hood, then I would say it is the real thing. There was at least one knockoff made, but IIRC they were not real smooth under the hood.

If it is you could sell it in like 5 minutes and get a replacement factory hood. Very sought after for good reason, they look factory. You should post some more pics showing fit it looks like it fits nice and we love new pics
