Your hood isn't a structural element of the vehicle, it'll be as safe as it was with the original.

And FYI everyone...I am making $000 out of this deal (it actually costs me time and money to do) So don't think I'm doing this to get rich...far from it, I won't see a dime, just trying to help the Aveo community.

Who would be interested?

I'd have to see pics first. I know that the Aveo would probably be demolished in pretty much anything worse than a fender-bender, but is a fiberglass hood all that safe? CF is really strong, so I wouldn't worry in that case, but anyone know how FG does in crashes?

Hoods(metal ones) are meant to crumple in the event of collision to absorb impact energy.
But like exodus said they aren't structural elements. so safety isnt a real factor.

And that's how to rip apart a CF hood to get the top skin....lol!!!

those pictures hurt the import tuner part of my heart lol

And its either the same or more for a carbon fiber hood for a mass produced car such as the civic so theres nothing to complain about. Im not really interested in a CF hood because it doesn't have any performance benefits except shaving a few pounds off which really doesn't matter much unless you do it for the whole car, and I dont like the look of CF very much. We need to find aveo owners that are willing to dump money into the car...south america seems to have a ton, I was on cardomain last night and saw a turbo aveo from south america, and lots more were really customized and looked pretty good.

i tried to order this hood some months back and it got backordered which i took to mean that they didnt really have any to begin with. they are like some sites who advertise havin things for the aveos but actually dont. if anyone here has done any searchin for aftermarket parts for the aveo, you will know what im talkin about.
