4th Gen SS repro hood? I know that the VFN hoods are much lighter but I haven't seen a reproduction SS style hood that wasn't some sort of cowl or etc. I would like a direct duplicate of the SS hood....only MUCH lighter. I wasn't able to find one. Thanks for the help

How much lighter are they than the stocker? And is that just a Carbon fiber skin over a fiberglass hood? That is what the picture looks like. The rear hatch, can that be used on a stock car with stock hardware in an application of wanting to save weight or is it for a race car?

They weight about 17 pounds. Our CF parts are FRP reinforced not CF covered fiberglass. They are made the same as Seibon and VIS, it is the industry standard. The hatch is made to be used with all the factory hardware and latches. Let me know if there's anything else you need.

Click the link in his sig. How much lighter is the hatch and how well do your parts fit? I'm interested because the factory panels weigh a metric ton. But in my past experience aftermarket parts fit like ****. Also on the scoop what do y'all use over the hole? Can I use the plastic piece from my stock hood?

The hatch weighs about 10lbs at most. Here's a link to a customers car with all of our carbon fiber parts on it. http://aerokits.net/newblog/. I'm sure you could use the plastic piece from your OEM hood.
