LOL the guy I bought my 10ae from recently bought an S5NA, and I was helping him bump his idle down, and went to open the hood and was like "damn that bitch is heavy!". I recently removed the hood on the 10ae to do some work on it, and it was a 1 man operation.

the steel hood might be heavier but is easier to fix and less prone to damage. ive had 3 aluminum hoods and kept my steel one over all of them. who the **** cares if its heavier? do you actually think it makes a difference? how many hp do you think you gain my using an aluminum hood?

by the time you gut your car and remove 150-200 pounds you can tell a slight difference in overall performance. BUT it feels rickety as hell and is loud and uncomfortable.overall, if its not a car you take to the track all the time an DD it then keep it comfortable. easier to use etc. i guess that doesnt really tie into an steel hood though...
