Erebuni makes one. They make quite a few carbon fiber hoods actually. I know supply of carbon fiber is pretty low right now so you may want to call them and see if they actually have any.

www.visracing.com
www.erebuni.com
You can also try nopi at www.nopi.com you have to click on the link to their strore. And I suspect the hoods they have are from erebuni. Not positive on that though. VIS makes some of the highest quality carbon fiber hoods out there. Seibon is another company to try. Can't remember what they have for hoods right now though. www.seibon.com They make excellent hoods.

Tell me how the fit and finish are when you get it. I have been thinking of ordering the extraction style hood for some time. Just haven't got to it yet. You may want to look into getting hood pins too. Just a precaution incase your hood were to fly up. Carbon fiber is light, no need to take the chance with a brand new hood.

When you get that hood it might be a good idea to have a clear coat put on it. I had one on my '98 eclipse and it got all oxydized and looked like crap. but if it comes with a clear coat already on it then you should be good to go. just don't go waxing it or anything. just mild soap and water.

I wouldn't wax it if you did like once or twice it probably wont hurt. but if you get water spots or any overspray or any thing else that has to be waxed out, then use meguires tech wax. its in a purple bottle. it has a picture of a modified like '94 RX7 on the cover that has a carbon fiber hood. that wax is made for carbon fiber its all synthetic and not abrasive. it's a little priceie but will save you money and the headache of having to respray a clear coat like i had to.

Yeah that wax is safe for carbon fiber but it also works really well on the rest of the car too.
