Glad you asked man. I can make whatever YOU want obviously a glass/carbon mix will be cheaper and i have NO problem doing that for the parts most of us will be painting
I can also do a carbon/kevlar/glass mix too.
All of my parts are vacuum bagged and infused, if you want a pre preg material it will be oven cured
I build boats for the navy, quality and construction are not things i lack on.
As far as the UV fading goes. This is due to either 1 of two things. Poor making or poor keep up. Some people use as little and as cheap clear clear coat as possible and thats BS but you cant just leave it alone either ya know?
epoxy resins are supposed to resist the yellowing more than a polyester resin... For a full carbon hood, how many layers are you looking at? Nomex honeycomb for some strengthening? I thought about building hoods a while back and just didnt figure anyone would want to pay $700 for a hood... Also like you said if a car is "tweaked" a bit, your customer is going to be unhappy though you molded a NOS or original hood
