I'm still staying true to my PM earlier on.

I thought this would go faster since this is a huge performance gain. What does Aldo think about that we have only 4 supporters from this whole forum? Goodness, 2 years ago tibbytib would be saying there's no more room left. So is it really worth it to make, is he really that committed to satisfy 5 buyers?

Huge performance gain? Losing a few lbs. is hardly a huge performance gain mang.

I felt a big noticeable improvement in both acceleration and handling just with my CF hood, which weighs next to nothing. The hoods and hatches on Tiburons weigh a ton. Try picking up a stock Tiburon hood with one finger let alone carry it with one arm. Impossible. But you can easily do it with a CF hood. If you've ever gotten a chance to lift the Tiburon hatch without its struts, you will see just what kind of weight you're carrying. It's really heavy. You just about need two people to move it. I think this is something every RD owner can agree on. It would feel as if you've just dropped off Fat Bastard off at his house.

My cf bonnet is one of my favorite aspects of my car!,not only is it light as a feather(even if 100lbs only equals 1/10 of a second in the quarter mile),the tib is already a heavy sport compact compared to hondas ,acuras,and such, so any cf is a performance mod as far as weight reduction goes,even if its only 10 lbs,it all adds up!,my vent in the cf hood is (what I would call a necessity) in keeping engine temps down expecially for turboed cars of any kind. plus a cf hatch on a tib looks ultra cool!!,..If this falls through for the rd2's, I know someone who just bought a dipping tanklarge enough to to a hatch!, so I may still have the carbon look for less than 1lb...so ,If I eat one less sandwich at work each day,I will have preformed a weight reduction with a cf looking hatch!?.

Been drinking doubles and kicking ass at darts tonight,usually I dont ramble on like this,excuse me if I have typo's
