What kind of weight savings are there? It doesn't seem like it would be that much. Just rip out your emissions and a/c.

A composite hood IS all about saving weight, be-it seaglass or a carbon cloth.

CF hoods.

Hi guys, what it take to make a hood would be 10 buyers willing to front 1/2 the money for them price would be 450.00 plus shipping..
the price of carbon fiber just doubled in the past few weeks and is projected to be unavailable by the end of the year, i can only guarantee the first 10 after that they would be subject to the availability of the material.
ill make them if 10 SERIOUS buyers step up to the bat i already have a mold for the TII scoop.
LMK what you think..
Paulo.
