Carbon Fiber Hoods 900

Hello everyone. For some time I've been patiently waiting for carbon fiber hoods from SOMEONE. IPD introduced them for the 200's about 2 years ago, and I've been waiting since then for them to keep going and make some for the '90/'91 to '95 700's and 900's. Back over a year ago I had emailed Eric at IPD about them and he told me they were either being developed, or being considered for development (I don't remember which one), but reguardless that they would most likely be for sale within one year. Since I have not seen them, or heard anything of them, I just got done emailing them again about it. My obsession with carbon fiber is not only that it is a real nice material in that it is very strong,light weight, and visually pleasing all at the same time, but also because my current factory hood is all dented and chipped (and rust is starting to grow just this year now) and the junk yards do not have a hood in anywhere near good shape (trust me, I go at least once every two weeks). Now I would like some opinions on this. Would anyone else out there like to see some carbon fiber hoods for, what I think, are the last of the best and true Volvo's ever built, or should I just give up my hopes and dreams? I am also well aware that they will be expensive (for a hood) because I know that carbon fiber is fairly new and expensive to make. Aside from price, does anyone else think it would be nice if they were at least available for you to begin with? Thank you for your time everyone! -Steve O.
