Question APC Carbon Fiber Hood?

I was looking at MacDaddy's website (SWEET car man! ) and noticed he had the APC carbon fiber hood with the scoops in it. I wasn't aware APC made a hood for the P5. Is it of good quality? I only ask because APC has a reputation for being crappy.

If anyone out there has any information, I'd greatly appreciate it.

There's a thread about this hood on the other forum

http://www.protegemp3.com/vbb225/sho...?threadid=6163

Overall I'd still like to stand by my statement that APC is total crap, even if some people in that thread say its good stuff.

Good luck.

I am also not a big fan of APC, but if it is quality stuff (which I strongly doubt being one guy on the other forum talked of having bigger gaps between the fender and the hood and APC long standing history of crap) it looks alright, depending on what you plan on doing with the rest of the car.

I am planning on getting the dg motorsports cf hood (oem style not ram air), which i heard is high quality stuff, and also heard really good things about the fiber images one.

Do yourself a favor though, if you get the APC one, make sure you cut out the holes for that fake venting, cause it would be pretty ricey to walk up to a car with a "vented" hood to find out that it was fake. just my opinion.
