Guys, if you can source it "locally" then please go for it... Especially at the price that they have quoted!!

In my experience, cheapest is not always the best... so theres no skin off my teeth HOWEVER, if you want the same hood as me with carbon fibre inserts then please let me know and I can try and arrange shipment for you.

In regards to lightness, i beg to differ... there is a difference in the overall feel of the car... try swapping all your panels to CF and see what the diff is. I guarantee there is.

I am just here to give my opinion on what I have bought...

This is correct. It really depends on the hood. I have met guys that come in with CF hoods that say their hoods weigh about the same, and others with different CF hoods say they feel a definite difference. If I only remember which member it was, he told me his CF hood is much lighter and he can actually pick it up with one hand easily.

Learn from mistakes guys. NO EBAY! U can buy used games on ebay for like $10 but not a $650 hood! Look at mark's hood! It looks amazing. And with CF vents. I honestly could care less if the hood was CF or FG since it'll be painted but the most important part is the vents. IMO, stay with the factory hood.

Yeah, i carried the hood with no issues... its light and i honestly do feel a diff in pick up in the car...

Maybe it is all psychologcal and i need excuses to justify the hood? ha ha ha a

What justification? It looks awesome, that's the justification, lol.

I wouldn't even care if it's heavier since it looks boss!
