I want to find a new hood for my sedan. Its a 2008. Something carbon fiber if possible and has a air duct if possible. Any links to websites?

Wish that I could bear better news that it is very difficult. Your best bet is to link up with Garm or Jeff at MicroImageOnline.com as they have excellent contacts in Southeast Asia where the Vios is much more popular.

They're out there.. maybe something at this list of sites might get you together with a hood.

Oh yeah, the one thing that I would caution you on is CF hoods. They are not all created equal and have the problem with becomign hazy or yellowed in only a couple/few years if not processed correctly. All in all I don't necessarily regret going with a CF hood when I did, but on the flip side it really depends on your reasoning on why to go with CF?

Well I was thinking a CF Hood cause it would look good on my black yaris. But If I could just find a black one with a air duct, that would work. Would look good with an aftermarket hood.
The one on my car right now has paint chips and such from driving on the high way. Might go look at the scrap yard around here for a new one.
