iam thinking of ordering one when I get paid.
For anyone who has one on there 1st gen tib,
can you feel a differance at all in weight? besides the looks.

 

weight differences are incredibly dramatic...

i think the stock hood is close to 60 pounds. maybe more. CF hoods run, i'd like to say, 10 pounds

 

Yeah I had the carbon fiber hood on my black tib and I got used to how light it was.

When I got the silver tib, I went to lift the hood and almost dropped it cause I didnt put enough effort into lifting it. I forgot just how heavy it was. So I have to use both hands instead of one and alot of arm strength to lift the damn thing. Its such a PITA.

I was contimplating getting another carbon fiber hood until I put the Zefiro hood on in the spring. Just because its that much better.

 

I love my CF hood, when it falls on my head it doesn't hurt as bad. I just wish I knew where it came from. I am still in the process of trying to figure out what the orginal owner did to my car and repairing it.

 

^does it have two vent thingies up towards the windsheild?

do you have a pic? I bet I could identify it laugh.gif
