I've actually looked into purchasing this hood. But on the pics showing the back view, it appears that all those vents are closed. Is that true, or am I just misinterpreting the pics? The purpose of those vents is to extract air from the engine bay, and for me to get this hood it'll have to be functional. If this hood is more style over function, I'd consider your drift style hood as well given those vents are open...

so the top piece is carbon fiber right? The skeleton is fiberglass?
Thanks to IceMark, I know that
aluminum T2 hood= 32 lbs with paint and scoop,
without insulation Steel T2 hood= 51lbs
How much does a carbon & fiberglass hood weigh? Same style if possible (turbo II)

Top is carbon , bottom is fiberglass so it is like the typical carbon fiber hood.
If desired, we could make it fully carbon if you want but it would be triple the price and it wouldn't really be worth it since it would only be slightly less weight at a significant cost.
We can also make a carbon kevlar version if you like, those are about $180 more.

What's sup with a trunk, that thing is heavy as well. For the price the carbon sounds nice and light. I tried checking on the site, don't you have an OEM one that without any scoops/vents? My car runs real low as it is lol.

Also, I would be able to make kevlar as well. If the dimensions are right I can send them out Fedex and avoid the expensive freight charges.
