Default I need opinions...

Hey I am looking to do some more mods and I just wanted to hear some input. I have searched around but just wanted some more info.

-ECS 2 piece rotor slotted ( Front )
-New pads, any ideas mostly street driving with a few Autocross events (Hawk Ceramic?)
-Lightweight battery, anything new with mounting bracket into production?
-Carbon fiber hood, saw the new hood from Euro Gear, good price, should look good with a black car, but what does everyone think?


As you can see I am trying to shave off some weight, I am open to suggestions. I would like to thank everyone in advance for their input.

Does anyone know the exact weight of our hoods? Eurogear is saying 30+, I thought it was less.

Default It is, all aluminum. Early on, we were saying how it would be pointless to go CF on the B6.

Obviously, iirc.

Hot. The only reason why I'd consider it now, is that my hood has been ravaged by rock chips...
