Default Classic Impreza turbo carbon bonnet how can you tell if its real?

How can you tell if it is a real carbon fibre or fibre glass bonnet?
Outside looks real but dunno about inside.
Does anyone have a picture of the inside of a real carbon fibre bonnet?
Cheers

I have a fibre glass carbon one on my classic, it was around £370. I had a Spoon one on my old Civic it was £700 used!!

So normally price is a big hint. You can see the weave underneath a real one same as top but prob not lacquered.
Whereas the GF one will look kind of dusty and rough with reinforced parts. I still like it though and got it to save weight as well as looks, it much lighter than the old steel jobbie.
