Default But do you really want to spend $$$ on a carbon fiber hood that you save few LBS
In my opinion it's better to spend a little more and get Fiber Images. That hood is only 15lbs. Vis or Seibon they more like 25LBS

Default their is also about a $500 difference if you shop around right.. If your just doing it for the weigh
and not the bling factor of saying that you have a cf hood, might as well go with a chaser or seibon fiberglass hood.. 300 some bucks
