Just wondering. I've looked but have not found any yet. I love the stock 97 Cobra hood but not the weight. Plus the paint is starting to oxidate so its just another excuse for me to upgrade. If any one knows who makes them let me know where I can find it.

are they the actually cobra hood with the 2 little scoops and bulge in the middle, or are they just like the GT hood? I'm curious as well

I heard that it was reinforced fiberglass as well. Don't really know. Cant imagine it would be a huge weight difference unless the carbon fiber is the same make up as those on fighter jets. Then the hood would weigh like 7lbs wet.

The stock hood is about 35-36lbs. My CF cowl hood I went with is 14lbs. I was going to buy this stock CF hood but I went with a cowl hood. Always wanted one. -Mark

That heat extracting racing hood is pretty cool. I'm considering one of these over next winter to get some weight off of the front plus make under the hood cooler when at speed.

Is it just me, or does that Erebuni CF hood not have the center bulge?

I dont think the ones in the webite's pics had the bulge either.

I was thinking ov something like this for my GT, but that missing bump would bug me...

It's there, it's just a funny reflection and it's hard to see, you can kinda see the front of the buldge in the reflection if you look real hard.
