Im in!!!! 
Talked to a guy from customcarbons and he said the hood was probably around 15 lbs. So that means to me that its probably somewhere in between 15-20. Stoked!!! Im paypaling tomorrow or friday depending on when I get paid. Hopefully this will bring the total up to 5 and we are getting our goods!!

Didnt get paid today, should be tomorrow. Will paypal hopefully tomorrow morning. Actually, since I promised, I will definately paypal tomorrow morning even if I have to borrow the cash!
On a different but related topic, is anyone going to get hood pins? I definatley need to since I hope to be going fast on the track. Anyone got a good source for them?

<----- PAID!
and.. Stoked! I got a question for yall- actually seconding the earlier question from MaxInProgress. Is the latch going to be working on this hood?
If not, I would go for this - locking hood pins.
If so, I probably would still go for it- since it is a bit more subtle and I dont really love the look of pins sticking up on a hood.
(heres the link to the auction)
Anyone else starting to wonder about a CF trunk? (hahah- havent even gotten the hood yet)

Oh yea and I also second the question about windshield fluid holes.
Also, anyone know if there is a writeup for installing the hood and pins?
Yup, same here!

there will not be wiper holes.
those locking hood pins can be a PITA to install.
i recommend any sparco style hood pins.
i am in a inventory nightmare at work. i had to work today on my day off. so i will try to keep everyone posted.
happy new year

Hey, I noticed that the writeup for a CF hood install isnt working
*How to install a carbon fiber hood http://www.seas.ucla.edu/~cheston/cfhoodinstall.html
Anyone got the info or an alternate site for a writeup?

Man Im ready for this to happen and at $300 shipped its almost pitiful we can't get 5 people. It might be different if you where a n00b offering something but this is a legit company and you are a well known member, come on people!!!

the guy just said it was 15 lbs so expect it to be between 15 and 20 pounds....
and how would u put the washer nozzles on there?
u can get hood pins painted black and then ionized so they will never rust.....dathrillr has these black hoodpins for sale and they are ionized i think he only has 2 pair left...i saw them in person and they are sick....that locking hood pin idea is awesome...id disable the lock period if i had that.....as long as the key for all of em arent the same.....

its raining hard here in so cal, so i dont kow if that will affect the shipping, as far as i understood the shipping was going to start today. and the weight is 15-20, as previously posted. and also keep in mind, to loose .1 seconds in a quarter mile you would have to loose approx 100 lbs.

And if any carbon hood company wants my sale i need a exact weight ,i have a carbon trunk which is getting painted and the hood will to. I just want it for weight reduction a 10-15lb hood is perfect.
