Look very carefully at the photos on their website. I believe the Deft hoods have the same bulge I have seen in the middle of all of the 986/996 CF hoods. Attached are a few photos to show you what I'm talking about. One is from another forum member who's got the Zeintec top, so you may want to ask him where he got his CF hood. The shape of the hood matches the contour of the car, but in the middle it does not lay flush with the fender, but sticks up about half an inch. It's maybe not a big deal to some, but I could not stand it. I fixed mine with some dzus fasteners so it lays flush and is more secure.
The only 986 CF hood that I've seen with a good fit is on Danny's Milo wheels show car (member here, but not active, you can see ads with his car in Excellence). But he's done a conversion to the later 996/turbo style lights and fenders which requires a different hood. All of the pictures I've seen of that hood for the turbo-style lights on the 996 show a much better fit without this problem.
Just my two cents...
