there's nothing aftermarket, you would have to find something custom made or maybe get a wrap.

personally I don't like the look of carbon fiber on a monte carlo, it seems like it belongs more on an import or something

i was thinking about the cf wrap, i was hoping for real cf hood, as it weighs next to nothing. helps with weight reduction

You don't want to take weight off the drive-wheels of a car. Not good for traction.

Carbon fiber wrap looks cheap. If it's not a real carbon fiber hood, I'd pass. And I am one who also thinks the carbon fiber hood look seems a bit ricer (it's cool to have carbon fiber parts, but, paint the facing surfaces).

CF wraps are a rip off theyll fade after awhile & look like crap & Mike the weight savings from a lighter hood isnt gonna hurt traction at all your not saving much weight
