I dont think its worth it, Ive heard about 55 pounds for the stock one, and around 10 pounds with a carbon fiber.. Not sure on the fiberglass though. But 40 or so pounds wouldnt really be worth it to me..

Who makes a carbon fiber hood at 10 lbs? Its worth it to me I just paid $145. to shed 10 lbs with my spohn chromoly motor mounts. All in all I spent close to a grand on a dynabatt battery, PA racings k-member a arm combo, and these motormounts. Id like to know who makes this carbon fiber hood as I am currently using Suncoasts WS6 rip off. I dont think its much lighter even if it is fiberglass.

Stock WS6 and the ASCD hood or Suncoast hoods will be within 10 lbs of each other, figure a range of 40-50 lbs. My ASCD hood was 41 lbs.
