I know different parts vary from different manufacturers, but does anyone know a round number for the weight loss between the stock hood vs. a carbon fiber hood?

I was curious about that too. Not that I can afford one.

MADD Drizzle what color is your car? I think it looks great w/ the dark tinted windows.

I weighed my stock hood the other day:41 lbs.

In this thread: zerothread/182093

PrimeS14 says their carbon fiber S13 hoods weigh 16~18 lbs.
