The hood itself is china made, and about 1-2 layers of carbon fiber. It looks nice, and is extremely light, however, you can see light through it and it flexes VERY easy. the fitment isnt factory either, the edges by the hinge will be raised about 1/4 inch from the body. When you recieve it, you will need to take ALL the hardware from the old steel hood you have and transfer it over to this hood. If you have an aftermarket cold-air intake, it rubs. YOU WILL REQUIRE THE USE OF THE HOOD LATCHES, AND REMEMBER, YOU ONLY GET ONE CHANCE TO CUT IT RIGHT, SO MEASURE 10 TIMES AND THEN CUT, AND MAKE SURE THAT YOU ALIGN THE HOLE FOR THE PEG. I mounted the peg on the ledge over the headlamps and cut down the extra threads. To cut the high gloss finish, as my audi is matte, I had the hood wrapped in XL Matte film for protection, added sturdiness, and it brings out the depth of the carbonfiber. 4 stars because of the URO customer service. The hood iteself is probably 3 stars for lack of materials used to keep their cost down, despite selling these for $1000+. There should be at least 2-3 more layers. It is technically not street ready, it is more for show unless you hood lock it. Oh, last thing, DO NOT TRY AND USE THE HOOD STRUT, it will buckle your carbon fiber hood and break it. Either install a colapsable one (there is not room for it to fit) or just use an extendable one and keep it in the trunk.
