Is anyone still making carbon fiber hoods, both front and rear?

With a carbon fiber hood on a 914, what would happen in a frontal crash?
How integral is the steel hood in the crash safety design to begin with? I've always been curious... |

Getty Design has been passed down from father to son... Hank has retired. Carbon fiber appears to no longer be offered in 914 lids though I suspect if enough were ordered they would be revived. The cloth supply is probably back up to adequate.
I would love to get a set... |

I have a CF hood that was modded with bulges for raised strut top perches.
I'm planning to take it to the Hershey swapmeet. |

Is it damaged that you might let it go at GRM challenge prices? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
