I am checking into all of this. I thought these were going to be three pieces as well. I thought the only problem with people wanting the hood to be three pieces was because it would have a "flush" look to it. I personally didn't think it was a problem. I apologize for that but I only knew about this recently. Anything I heard I relayed it to you guys. I didn't hold anything back: read starting from the bottom.
I have the close ups of the one with blemishes on the vents. I didn’t realize it was so important for people to be able to take those off. My manufacturer told me it was impossible with wet carbon and at that price. Keep in mind that the white residue on the pictures is buffing compound.
Thank you,

I won't have a problem with the one piece design of the hood. Do you have a close-up of the hood vents and how they "sit" on the hood. Are they flush? I really need to see a pic of that. Thanks.

The 2% problem was the damage from shipping and little dings on the oem hood which transferred over to the original mold. The vent is actually molded onto the hood and it looks just like the oem. If you wanted the vent to separate from the hood we would have to use dry carbon and a lot more fabrication to get teh threaded studs there. Then the hood would be between $1200-$1400. Dry carbon is very expensive; we have done couple projects with that and nobody else ever bought these parts because of the cost.
