[QUOTE="cobra gt 07, post: 11248393, member: 102136"] I am looking for a really light-weight option for a hood, which doesn't appear to exist from the options I have found. It appears that hood manufactures are focusing more on durability than weight savings, even with CF hoods. I was able to speak with trufiber's Customer service guy today via phone, and it is my understanding that the carbon fiber hood that they offer is also steel reinforced. I was told that their hood is heavier than stock, but also that their hood weighs approximately 30 pounds. Again, I was the under the impression that the stock hood weighs at least 34 pounds, if not more, which makes the discussion a bit confusing. Not sure why someone is making a super light-weight hood for these cars. I am less concerned with the look of a hood, and more on performance/aerodynamics/weight savings. [/QUOTE]
