Scribe,

Unfortunately, Amuse has not given us any update as to an FRP or "Regular Carbon" version of their hood.

That being said, have you had the chance to check on the ones that Varis manufactures? They offer theirs in VSDC, Carbon Kevlar, Carbon, and FRP.

Thanks for responding and letting us know that Amuse is not sharing information.

The problem I have, and I suspect most have, with the Varis hood is it simply doesn't look good/is ugly. The lines don't flow with the strakes on the hood, the vents turn out awkwardly and are proportionately too small. The vents just look tacked on without any consideration for how they look with the rest of the car. Here's what I mean:

Compare that with the Amuse hood, where the lines flow down the strakes and take up more of the hood and it's no contest.
