Cool Carbon Fiber Hoods

Hello Everyone,
I am a soldier currently fighting in Iraq, not too much time for Rotary here( i havent touched or seen my 7 for 11 months now). The question that i have is Does anyone know a website that has a Carbon Fiber or Fiberglass Hood for an 88 convertible. Or is anyone selling one that will work for that model. Also does anyone have any other good tips for getting rid of some weight in that car (since i dont have the knowledge or resources to convert it into a turbo, weight is really important to me).

So you guys are allowed to browse RX-7 sites and type unfiltered stuff about the war?

Thanks for the links, as far as the restrictions over here, our 1SG hooked my company up with a satelite and free internet, the problem is just finding time to get on and use it. As far as what we can say and cant, there is a lot of stuff that we cant talk about, but for the most part you can talk about pretty much whatever. But Hey i am proud to serve, plus i really enjoy my job, the not so cool part is that the army does year long deployments, so no rotary (or females and beer and **** or anything) cool like that.
