Is anyone working on a lightweight hood for the MS3?

Carbon hoods have always left me a little....blah. I don't see any real performance gain from 20-30lbs loss (if that's the difference)
Take your spare tire out. Date a skinny chick. To me it doesn't seem worth the money and possible fitament issues.

I figure the hood is an easy remedy. My first mod (before warranty expires) will be a radar detector. Then probably the wheels. Then most likely a CAI and MAYBE, if I hear enough good reports, the TMIC (yes, I know I reacted negatively to the reported shoddy work, but hp is hp, no?). The hood would be a good thing to throw in that wouldn't affect the warranty either.
Reduced wheel weight gives you bennies all around. Less unsprung weight = much quicker acceleration, lessened rotational mass, quicker suspension response, better gas mileage, and increased street cred at the car warsh. These wheels pay me!
The hood is just sprung weight.

Some people actually like the look of a CF hood.
