but doesn't carbon fiber shrink in extreme cold too? Is there anything else I can do to the hood besides extra clear coat to make it more durable? I don't necessarily care about having the carbon fiber look, i mean it looks incredible but the style hood I want only comes carbon fiber so i don't care about painting it to match the car. I want the invader hood so is there any kind of weatherguard or sealed type stuff I could spray it with?? thanks again for all the help so far!!!!
