Deciding on Carbon Fiber hood. If you know the weight of your hood please post up. It would be beneficial to know which hood is for looks and which is really for performance.

 

im sure there isnt much of a difference between wieght in any of the carbon fiber hoods all oout for the tC


I mean,,how much less or more *weight*(bc cash is a diff story) can a hood be with a vent?

yea but theres gotttta be differences. I mean the bbist hood is double sided and has to weigh more than others. And i dont know what the vents are supported by but thats gotta add more structure/weight. Im sure someone out there besides myself would like to know the weights for future refereeeence. lol. Now can someone please post numbers? and in particular the N-1/ait/b-magic hood. Ive grown attached to taht thing lol.

 

You're gonna see little if any difference. If you really wanna talk about shedding some weight, then remove your back seat, spare tire, ac......... etc

 

THE VENTED ONE HAS A FIBER GLASS CENTER STRUCTURE FOR ADDED SUPPORT, THIS IS FROM WHAT I FOUND REVIEWING THEM. IT COULD BE NOT ALL OF THEM DO BUT IM SURE COST WOULD BE HIGHER. AND YEAH THEY DID SHOW THE VENTED ONE WIEGHING MORE. (I'LL TRY TO FIND THE WIEGHTS AND POST THEM)

 

I want to know how much the OEM hood weighs and how much the VIS carbon fiber hood weighs. Anybody have the answers?

 

i know someone w/ a carbon hood has their stock one....someone lets get a comparison of the both plz ;D

 

ok i have a vis oem style cf hood on my tc and literally.. the new cf hood was really really light but then i took all the stuff off the stock hood like the heat sheild and washer nozzle stuff and rubber strippin on the front the factory hood is almost as light as the new cf hood i bought there really isnlt much of a weight difference but cf just looks better

 

The CF OEM-style hood feels lighter than the OEM hood feels heavier when you lift them up. I can feel the difference, but it may just be me and not really fact.

 

if i get time to it this weekend i'll weight the cf hood i have and my stock hood.. there is a huge difference in weight with stock and cf.. and the double sided cf hoods should actually be lighter then the hoods with a fiberglass frame but cost a lot more since its double sided.. if ur looking for a oem style hood let me kno i can get u one at a good price.

 

From what I remember Motopr FX hood is supposed to be the lightest.

 

i needs me a CF hood...
just can't decide which fits best!!!

 

None will fit as well as the OEM hood. There will be some flaws of fitment from place to place. Mine doesn't fit that well on the driver side, but if you really wanted to, you can make it fit.
