carbon fiber hood question.. read!!!!
hey guys does a carbon fiber hood really make a car get lighter? i mean how much lighter will it be if you change the oem hood with a cf hood of a hatch? if its like 15 or 20 pounds lighter its not worth that 400 bucks huh?

you also have to take into consideration where the weight savings are being applied...it is usually the best to reduce weight from the front of a fwd car b/c they usually are heavier in the front (60%+ more weight is u there)...though this will never be noticeable in normal driving circumstances...only when you are pushing the car to its limits and have a great knowledge of those cars limits would any effect (usually professional racers)

damn... hahahaha i guess the best way for any1 to loose 15 pounds and dont waste any money is to take a dump, dont eat, and wear some boxers and race. well u gotta admit some cf hoods do make a car look nice in some cars.

Do drink water in the staging lanes though, in the summer it gets hella hot standing around out there. Passing out is much worse then a slow ET.
