Default FYI... OE hood weight.

Finally got to remove my B6 A4's OE hood and weigh it.

According to my digital scale it weighs give or take a pound, 40 lbs.

My CF hood from EuroGear weighs in at only 16 lbs so a good weight savings of 24 lbs all of it at the right location on the car.

The car's diet is still going on. Can't wait to see how much it weighs when I'm done.

Default Oh, I thought the B6 S4 had an aluminum hood. Pretty sure it is on my buddy's '04...

I'll try to stick a magnet to it next time I get a chance.
