I had a CF hood on my Audi A4, but I experienced no lift on it at speed, however the design of the A4 hood is extremely different from a "normal" hood, since the grill is integrated in the hood.

The main issue I have/had with my hood was after 2 years the hood looked horrible!! Clearcoat/topcoat was almost completely gone. Shortly after the hood cracked. I'm not sure If quality has gone up since 2001, but it was pretty disappointing

If I had a black VX I would get one... but a Silver VX I don't think it'd look too good on. Plus I'd like to go the Entire vehicle bedlinered route.

Price seams fair to me too! $300 is a good price for a cheap (CHEAP) civic hood, not a 10 year old, relatively rare vehicle.
