Recently on ebay, there was a hood for like $100...GREAT PRICE...till you read down and the shipping was like $200 - $300... Also, buy from reputable companies. Vis is a great Carbon Fiber Hood maker. Also, take input from people that have the hoods. Ask what they like about them...and what they dont.

Also check if the retailer has a fitment guarantee, and make sure you get shipping insurance in case it is damaged in transit.
