Not to sound sarcastic, but what does this carbon fiber hood do for you? Weight savings?

HELL YAH DUDE!!
SOOO HOT since it blends in with the color of your car already. Wow. I love that roundel, lol.
What kind of hood is that and how much did it cost?

Now get some DDE algel eye ZKW Elipsoids...


Fadec40: You loose a lot of dead weight by switching from a heavy metal to a MUCH lighter carbon fiber hood. Plus, when it's almost the same color as the car it's on as in this car, it looks so incredibly sexy.
On other cars, like a yellow car without a painted CF hood, it looks terrible.

most sites that you buy from have a listing of the orignal weight, vs the CF weight, it s usually pretty drastic unless the hood is just wrapped in CF

hold there hot pants first be very very very careful when you open it and close it don't even look at it or it will break and you'll will be mad as F....

weak points the 4 bolts on the latchs and the 2 front corners they crack very easy.

Oh yah, remove that grey crap from your side skirts and bumpers..
4 DIY's here on this page
No painting is required! Just scrubbing. The grey stuff is a sprayed on rubbery material that they quit doing around 96 I believe.

[okczy21]

im skeptical about the side skirt removal as a couple people havent quite achieved the results that they wanted, but if someone could step up with a black car that has done it i would like to see pics and ill consider it, i would just rather not do it if it doesnt turn out totally black, i want them to look like they are painted black not like i rubbed off the gray paint and for it to look shady

oh yeah can it be done to the front and rear bumper also

[bitcore]

yes I think you can.
Its a good deal of scrubbin, good workout for your arms and pecs

[waxfondlr]

word to the hood..i was thinking about doing that myself to kill some weight..have you thought about doing the door panels at all?
