Someone does make a carbon fiber hood, but I forget who. It didn't have any ram air scoops like AAD or Cervini's hood, but it did have a "reverse" opening in it (i.e. if you were in the truck you could almost see down into the engine bay). There was a post about it a few months ago- "search" around and you should be able to find it.

Later...

I have seen two... I've seen that one above, and I've seen a carbon fiber hood that looks just like our regular stock hood shape.

You might want to be careful with that hood above, it scoops downward...while that will be okay on a regular F150, we have the supercharger sticking up some in ours.

Damn, too bad they dont make those for 1995 Broncos! Pre-emtive strike against the dreaded hood paint peel.

I have been in love with that hood for a while. My truck is Red, but as soon as I can come up with a "look" for the truck where the hood won't be out of place I'll buy one. D@mn I like carbon fiber

There is also an OEM style hood (no inward scoop) available:

Okay guys, how would this look:
My red lightning with the above "stylin concepts" carbon fiber heat extractor hood (if it fits over the blower). Paint the hood body color (in my case, red), but leave the center "heat extractor" part carbon fiber. It seems that the center carbon fiber part, if left bare, would follow the lines of the truck.

Opinions????
