C-Wings Carbon Fiber hood Group Buy is ready...
Here are some pics of the hood which had been received yesterday...
Weight: 26 lbs
24 lbs after taking off protection rubbers(shipping)
Answer regarding weight from dealer
<quote> The hood is indeed real carbonfiber, we make alot of carbonfiber products, there is no point on lying about it.
if you see one in person, you'll know it's not fake
regarding the weight issue, the hood has fiberglass underlay and carbonfiber top, it's a very high quality unit, something OEM manufacture would like to use
this is not a all out racing hood, quality and fitment are the priority here, and it is still lighter than stock hood.
take the racing carbonfiber hood that weight just 10lb for example, if you sit on the hood, it'll probably crack !!! would you want that on your street car?
we have included a video demonstration of how strong our hoods are

yeah..unless it is insanely cheap i won't think about it..
how much does a stock hood weigh..
no offense to the seller but this seems to me like a 'yes rice' mod
this isn't a flame..but why go with a partial CF hood to save only like 15 lbs, besides for the look?
however..if it insanely cheap..count me in :-)
