what up peoplez!! i recently tore my hood up and need a new one. i was looking around for a carbonfiber one but the prices were like $500+ with shipping. should i kill the $600 that i have for a carbonfiber hood or should i pay the $250 for a regular hood and save the rest and save up for the jwt ecu? or is the carbonfiber hood the way too go?

im more of a performance guy so if looks are what you base your decision on then id rather not get the cf hood, but if it helps horsepower wise then i would have to consider. thanks to all

ecu > cf hood

bignutts

stock hoods weigh like 49lbs verses the 15-20 lbs from cf hoods depending on manufacturer. so dropping the weight down about 20-30lbs will not give you that much of a difference in time, but chewing the fat helps. i would go with reg hood and ecu. you get much better times with the ecu and kinda kill to birds with one stone

get the regular hood. and get the ecu.. go with techno you will get your ecu back much faster.

well i decided to go stock hood and ecu combo, but im unsure which ecu to go for ? i checked both jwt and techno to see but all i got was this

technosquare ecu- $595.00 fuel,ig

jwt ecu-$525.00 or $700.00 with core charge

it that what you guys are paying for these upgrades?i thought techno was cheaper than jwt

my friend payed $65 for a carbon fiber hood on ebay... with $200 s/h it came to $265. but i would have to agree with everybody... ecu>cf hood
