That NSX-R style hood looks OK, but I'd prefer one without the raised lip because 1) it adds unnecessary drag and 2) it doesn't fit in with 2 styling (it looks more at home on a Honda with their more angular appearance).

Don't ban me from the composites topic just for asking, but...for very small production runs (less than 100) might aluminum not be a better material? You still save a lot of weight over the steel tabletop, especially with the vent structure which allows thin material to make a solid structure. Of course it doesn't look as cool, so it depends on how much money the carbon look (and about two pounds) are worth to you...
