Carbon fibre one has one and there are a few on e-bay but they seam to cheap to be any good. Carbon fibre one is hard to get answers from.

I was told the Carbon Fiber hoods actually weigh more than our Alum hoods.

I will let you know this weekend. I am installing a Stillen S/C on my sedan with the CF hood. I have taken my hood off by myself and it is not heavy at all so if you are going for CF for just the weight savings don't waste your time or $$$.

I seriously doubt ppl go with CF to save weight. 99% are doing it for looks.

I installed the Stillen one last weekend with my S/C. There is not much weight difference between the two. The stillen might weigh a couple pounds less; not enough to make a difference in performance unless you get the S/C that goes under it!
