Fibber Hood?

Ruins sleeper effect. But if you already have some nicer rims on there, and an exhaust, it's not gonna matter.

Go for it...the weight savings up front should be noticable towards the handling of the car. I know when I shaved 25 lbs by switching to a small battery the car was slightly more responsive and had easier turn-in.

I've never heard of a fibber hood. Is that lighter than a fiber one? :stick: ;)

I saw a real shitty one at the SO. I would've painted that POS for sure.

CF hoods don't save much weight do they? It's mostly for looks but like Dane said-- if you already have some bling parts on, add it! It looks nice.... IMO

I would only get the carbon hood if it really saved a good amount of weight. If it doesnt save weight like some people say then whats the point of buying one besides looks?

Stock hoods weigh alot... maybe like 40lbs. I would assume a carbon would cut that in half or more.

go for it! I've decided to run an unpainted fiber hood on the blue beast when its running (sometime in 2010!).

My VIS hood is probably 20 lbs lighter than stock. I am guessing 25 vs 45 for the stocker. The 1g's have a fiberglass structure though, unlike the 2g ones.

Was the shitty one you saw at the SO on a really nice black GVR4? Unfortunately after further research the maker of the hood seems to have QC issues, as the first two were really nice, and the next two not so nice. One of the guys that got a not so nice one was at the SO. He did a full restoration on his car, and ended up with a crappy hood, after a year and a half wait in a group buy.

I say no. Money could be spent else where for a greater effect. I don't think that a stock 1g hood is that heavy myself. I don't know about a Gvr4. For me, that $300-$400 could be a wideband kit. You could also spend it on a SAFC, logger, and a fun night at the strip club. I am just against the idea.
