Well, I know my FG hood weighs about 18 pounds.
The stock one is about 2 times as heavy, at least.

thats a pretty good weigh reduction plus a great look!
now how much would a evo hood weigh with the holes.... even less! only if the price was right on those!!!

as light as the CF hood might be.. I doubt the Evo style is going to make a real difference.. you start running into the law of diminishing returns.. you have to do more and more work to get less and less as you approach a theoretical ideal.

If I remember correctly, we weighed the CF at either 9 or 13 pounds (Im pretty sure its 13) and the stock one at like 40 pounds. The Zefiro hood weighs more than the carbon fiber one, quite a bit more, which sucks, but it does look better.

I dont have a back seat, spare tire, and all that crap, for now I don't even have a pass seat.... but I want to find things that I could use on my car to make it weigh a lot less and still look good!
