Hey guys,

Thanks!

How much weight does the carbon save over the stock hood?

be nice

Im sure you can find a simple carbon fiber hood for 400, try calling V.I.S. or stillen....they weight less then stock which is 2 grades heavier, looks great since it matches the spoiler...

Actually some carbon hoods weigh more than stock. Last I checked our stock hood weighed 22 lbs.

[BOVBILLY]

ErroR is right. Alot of the C.F. hoods weigh the same as stock if not more. I am more looking for the look!

[Anonymous]

right, but some CF hoods, im just suggesting the regular carbon fiber hood that AVO makes, or is it OEM??

[leaveit2bevo]

how about the carbon fiber hood that was on the sparco/apex car?

the carbon fiber hoods the good ones will save u up to like 7-9 ibs i forgot, but its about 500-600 buck.... so the question will come down to r u willing to save 7-9 ibs for 600? thats a exhaust, set of cams, 3 intakes, 2-3 dp, 2-3 cat delete, 2 sets of lower arm bar, half sets of coilovers, almost a intake manifold, a header, almost a intercooler...... i think with 600 bucks you will gain more from hp gain products than saving 7-9 ibs, unless you are going for showish type. =0)

=0) good luck on ur search, theres more out there, i forgot where but theres one company that makes the hood and trunk saves you about 20 or 22 ibs i forgot but it goes for $3000 =0) good luck

carbon fiber trunk saves way more than hood. We already have a light aluminum hood.

[han74j]

very ture leaveit i think the hood trunk saves over 12 or 13 ibs, but then if u take ur seats out, front and back you will save like 30-40 ibs =0)
