ok, lets put things in prospective, I would say save your money and maybe just paint your current hood, weight wise the cf hood maybe just just a couple pounds heavier than the stock aluminum one, so I would just say don't stress about it and spend the money on an 07 conversion front bumper with the lip im making

They just got back to me. Cost $600 and a week

. Not quite the number I was I expecting lol. But I think it would look freaking sweet. Maybe I'll save up

Oh got it, but it still isn't giving you any weight reduction (not that the CF itself does) Definitely just going for the look.

And NismoMax80 yes who knows what if any benefit the vents bring. We all now the ZK CF hood was made only for looks anyways, and it does look good!
