Anybody know of these? I don't wanna be rice, but painted, I think the R would look good and calm down some of that hot ass air under the hood. Plus it would get some of the weight off the front axle to balance the car better if accompanied by lighter battery.

IMHO that particular hood would be rice.
Here's my current CF hood:

That's what I thought, it did seem to be trying too hard. If anyone knows a great place to look?

IIRC VIS, DTM, and Erebuni make OEM style CF hoods (mine's an Erebuni). I'm sure there are others. As far as scoops, etc. I'm making my own.
