CF Hood

Well I got my SAFC running and went for a tuning run. I don't even get a chance to do anything with it when a deer runs in front of me and gets plastered. luckily it only hurt my hood. Now I have the perfect excuse to get a cf hood. :)
But I would like an opinion from some others. I either want a OEM look or go for an EVO style hood.
I have a 2g turbo with a stock body.

Well in the links I posted in tells you how much the carbon fiber parts weigh so all you would have to do is go try and order a regular OEM hood and the shipping weight will tell you how much it weighs.
