So I got my headlight off ebay, only $285 shipped, so not too bad for a $1200 part. Now, I need a hood too, anyone have or know about the carbon fiber hoods that area vailable? I intend to paint it to match, i'm no ricer, but would the decrease in weight benefit me at all? Or should I just stay stock? Another question, anyone with a 3.2 replace their bumper or any front end parts and want to sell the original?

There are plenty of hits many of which report you gain nothing when switching to carbon. You have to have hood pins and the hood is actually heavier than the stock aluminum hood.<ul><li><a href="http://www.estrictlyforeign.com/asp/product.asp?category=1&amp;ID=1106">Carbon Fiber Hood</a></li></ul>

I don't have a stock hood, so the question is, would you get a new stock hood, or replace it with something else?

This SGI on LefTTy's car from texas, peeled itself off and went over the roof one nite on her way to work! Plan on Hood pins.

Last I heard, the one on eBay was heavier than stock.

Interesting combination of stolen design elements there...

|everso!|

and it IS ricey, since it adds no benefits at all....except maybe more safety due to CF rigidity.

Actually, I heard that there's less safety in CF than in the metal, since it doesn't crumple...

Thanks Steve, I'll stick with stock... no hood pins, this aint no 60's camaro
