9lbs from what I remember is the weight of my carbon hood.

Where did you get your hood from?

[aleph1]

Well some people call the shark eyes S14a and the happy lights S14. Some say S14a and S14b...but I think the majority calls the happy lights just S14 and the shark eyes S14a. SO THERE.

I remember reading that the s14a = a for After change, and s14b = b for Before change. honestly i couldnt give a s***, but whatever, just tryin to help.

I did not know that, I thought it was a (95-96) and b (97-98) but I guess I will use zenki kouki now haha - oh since we have veered off topic lemme bring us back, I doubt I'll get a CF hood, $500 IMO can be better spent somewhere else ;] considering I don't even have $ for food at the college, I just go home and eat so I can pay for 93 octane and Mobil 1!

CF HOOD? Bah, humbug. That's just more rice. Wow i dropped a whole 40 lbs and such. Its a weak, pretend CF hood. Hoods are designed to re-direct the impact of a crash, and with the fake hoods they put out these days, you can hurt yourself. But i do like the real ones.

BZZT wrong. Sounds like talkin out the a$$ to me.

1.) best way to make a car faster: Increase power to weight ratio.

2.) carbon/fiberglass hoods use the same understructure as stock hoods so they fold exactly as they should.

I picked up my CF hood for the prelude in CA while I was on vacation. That way I didn't have to pay for shipping. And it weighs about 14 lbs. I know were talking about 240 hoods but hopefully that helps a little

har very funny jack ***. When your trying to reduce weight as much as possible 30-40 lbs HELPS. beleave me. If you could save 200lbs total hell thats nice. Btw... there are CF hoods you can buy that are not weak. Hell i have videos of this hood of people jumping up and down and then droping tires with rim from top of a ladder so yes you can buy strong hoods.
