Aftermarket Carbon Fiber hoods ????????
I have had the misfortune of now needing a new hood on my car. Before I replace the factory one as GM is very Proud of their Carbon fiber Hood I was looking to install an aftermarket Carbon Fiber hood. Has anyone had experience with this that can recommend a company that has a high level of quality and fitment.

I did this on my 2011 Grand Sport and it was a disaster. Maybe they have gotten better quality now. IDK Even the high dollar ones didn't fit well at all. I spent big bucks paying different body shops that thought they could make it better, but it just didn't happen.

I saw one from LG in person a few months ago. The design looks awesome. The fitment...not so much.
ACS has a few hood options. Don't have any direct experience with their hoods, but I have their heat extractors in my hood and am VERY impressed with the fitment. If they can make those fit the OEM hood, then I'm confident they can make a full hood replacement that fits well. Also have a few of their other items and they also fit well.
