Carbon Fiber Hood for the 2009 Honda Fit?

Hello, I have a 2009 Honda Fit Sport (GE8) and I was wondering if anyone knows any place that makes Carbon Fiber Hoods? And the lower models of the Honda Fit (GD3) does NOT fit the 2009 honda fits.. So if anyone knows any information about any carbon fiber hoods for the GE8, that would be great!!!

I hope that you're planning on painting the hood. Unpainted CF hoods look trashy imho.

Unpainted CF looks trashy? How? Why would you paint over carbon fiber at all? If your going to paint over it you might as well get a fiberglass hood. Half the reason for getting Carbon fiber is for the looks because lets be honest. The hood doesn't weigh that much. Replacing it with CF isn't going to save you enough weight to be worth the $$.
