. You thinking of a CF vented hood?
Oh ya JT at least we can drive our 8s in the winter - Snow is for Utah, points east and the mountains not for Vegas.

Phil, if it didn't snow up here, you couldn't flush you toilets down there, and you'd have to wash your car with Perrier! 
Here's a photo of your spring-time municipal water. We got a piddling 3" this morning. The photo was taken about an hour after I shoveled the driveway. You can just see the back end of my 8 on the righ side of the garage.
Also a close-up of my 8, sans cover, in it's corner of the garage, waiting for warmer, salt-free days.

Thank Utah and Colorado for gathering Southern Nevada's, Arizona and California water. Now, could you please raise the level of the lakes. A piddling 3" will not do it. I think more like 3000" might do it. Your delivery schedule has not been up to par
.The 8 does not belong in a garage, it belongs on the road but I understand not wanting road salt on it. Maybe you should just fit it with skis.
JT, thanks for letting me have fun with you

I'm not sure what brand of-CF hood this is, but here's a photo I took of one a few months ago. A guy in our local group put this one on his car. He said it's actually a bit heavier than the stock Mazda hood.

I have the exact same dents on my hood. And I've seen 2 other 8's with the same dents, the same place on the hood. I thought it was a poor way the hood was made or that the area had some odd stress on it overtime--cause the car has been very well taken care of.
