Is the 1016 Industries hood a worthwhile investment?

Approximately 90% of R8's CF Hoods have fitting problems due to the configuration of the OEM hood.
The truth is, 90% of R8's CF Hoods are manufactured in China.
Over 90% of R8's CF Hoods are priced below $3000 USD, including the DRY CF Hood with a double-sided fine finish.
Even a dry carbon fibre hood, such as the R8's CF hood, cannot provide a lower weight than 90%.

Purchase an affordable fibreglass alternative if you do not possess much wealth, humorously speaking. The fitting is not valued at more than 6,000 USD.

Based on my previous negative buying experience, I would want to provide some honest insights.

I would just contemplate Matt's hood. I would definitely not engage in the activity mentioned in 1016.
