With carbon fiber this thin it will & did snap, take a close look at the pics. Your buddy's hood is a lot thicker & most hoods are mostly fiberglass with 1 or 2 layers of Cf. I'm looking into a CF hood for my audi & have seen plenty of them on cars. I personaly wouldn't want a flimsy hood that can bend that easy on my car, I'm going to get a good Vis hood when I get one.
