yup, i was the mock up car for them. however, i'm not allowed to name anyone on these forums.

Stock hood weight: 72 lbs.

CF Hood with Stock Ducting: 20-22 lbs.

Holy Crap...The stock hood weighs 72lbs...

 

[zoom-zoomhatch]

Group buy maybe? How much of a pain is mounting the stock ducting to the cf hood?

I gotta go against the grain on this and say leave it carbonfiber and do not paint it. I think it would ruin the whole point of having a cf hood if you paint it. If you ar gonna paint it why not just get a hood made of aluminum?

The point is it is some 50lbs lighter. I agree it looks good with carbon fiber look and I would love to see one installed on my cosmic blue.

Yea I think an aluminum hood should be about the same weight wise as cf, I think.

true, but aluminum doesn't have the strength that Steel and Carbon Fiber have

Salesman: Well I can't _give_ you the car, Krusty, but I _can_ let you have this little number for practically nothing: only $38,000.

Homer: Oh, yeah. Speed holes!
