Be sure to do lots of research before you pick one up. I have a seibon hood and I would give it a 7/10. If I had to do it again I would pick up a better brand, but that usually entails a higher $. Do lots of homework before buying.
Mine ran about $600 shipped.

That's around my price range but can spend more. How much would a good brand cost with carbon fiber used and are they often sold used?
