The glass hoods are going for $250.00 plus shipping(that is what Ken is running)

I am having problems finishing the carbon ones. The carbon ones are ok for painting but not bare carbon. I am selling the carbon ones for $300.00 but they need some air bubbles filled.

weight carbon = 9lbs fiberglass = 13.5

That hood is actually the second hood out of the mold...12lbs. Ken said that the car raises the front tires off of the ground like 10" now!!! Its hard to believe that 10-15lbs makes that much diff!!!
