I dont think you understand. The hood is meant to crumple to absorb shock from a front end collision. A CF hood doesn't meet the same standards, therefore often will not crumple but come off the car completely. I heard a story to where a CF hood came through the windshield on a front end collision, needless to say it wasn't pretty. For the couple of lbs it may shave off the overall weight I dont think it is a good trade for safety of you and your riders. Now you can always remove the CF hood every time you leave the track.
