Default Some body work help...

So, I am taking my del sol to the body shop this winter. I have talked to the owner and for $3000 he will be replacing both rear quarter panels, the drivers side door, some metal around the A pillars and it will get a fresh coat of silverstone (s2000 color) paint.

The hood needs to be replaced, so I am getting a carbon fiber hood to replace it since they are cheaper than buying an OEM hood and having it painted.

My question is What is a good carbon fiber hood for under $500 that comes with hinges? What is a good place to order them from?
(I searched on this)
Thanks every one. I will post pics when it is finished.

Thanks. The reason I ask about the hinges is because the guy at the body shop said to order one with hinges because the stock ones dont always work.

I just dropped the Del Sol off at the body shop today, should have some pics in a couple weeks. The body guy said that he will even store it indoors over the winter at no extra charge! The carbon fiber hood has been ordered also...
