what i mean by that is not a hood that weighs 20+ lbs.
I would like a FRP hood or good CF hood that fits well and is 17lbs or less.

I have seen org members in the past with 7-12lb CF hoods where are those hoods now? and whats availiable in a light hood.

And to answer some questions that might come . yes i want this for weight reduction nothing else and yes the 30+ lbs of reduction will help alot . I estimate almost a tenth gained in the 1/4 from a 10-15 LB hood.

 

i may be wrong, but i think the less than 17lbs hoods were made by fiberimages, and they didn't have a skeleton underneath.

i have a c-wings hood that i have not yet put on, but i think it's about 19-20lbs.

 

What year car? There is only one option in carbon fiber for the 3rd gens, Fiber Images, and they weigh less than 10 lbs. Hell, I think the box they come in weighs more than the hood.

For 4th gens there are more options.

 

I have a 4th gen and i havent been able to find the hoods with no skeleton and the lighter weight ones.

does fiberimages still make the light hood?

 

My POS hood from ebay is about 17 lbs. I havent seen one like mine on there in some time.

Fiber images are pretty much the best, not sure on the weight, but they dont have a skeleton. Meximax has one.

 

Yes, Fiber Images still makes the 4th gen hoods. I know this because when I ordered my 3rd gen hood I received a 4th gen by mistake (a mistake very quickly corrected I should add). I went thru AEIPerformance.com

 

I had a fiberImages, great hood

 

I had a C-Wings from Importfan.com. Fitment was great and It weighed about 18-19 pounds.
