I really don't understand the whole CF lip/ bodykit pieces thing. CF is brittle, it is worse than having Fiberglass, and the weight savings is not much in these cases. I say go for Urethane.

But CF bodykits look great and would go well with a CF
hood.

actually i find that to be true. CF lips and sides are only good for show. You cant repair a CF lip or sides.. .unless painting it is your final plan. Once CF is damaged it can never look the same via a repair.

umm CF is not brittle if done right. Cheap CF products are brittle because it is only 1 layer. I can throw a baseball at a good CF hood and nothing. If I throw a baseball at the OEM hood what's going to happen? Also don't forget that the weave plays an important part in the strength. To say that it is worst then fiberglass is just plain wrong.
