OEM Style CF Hood?

anyone know if there's an OEM style CF hood in either forged CF or traditional weave? feel like it would be a nice touch but i just can't find anything that's in the OEM (or close) style.

Once the CS comes out, yes. It will be rightfully expensive.

I would recommend going with one of Alpha's, still expensive but fit and looks will be good.

We have come out with several OEM style hoods in the past, but they tend to be the least popular option. Most customers that are spending CF hood money want a different design. However, if there is enough demand in the G87 community then we can make one.

The forged carbon just looks like granite to me.
