Default Anybody weigh a Stock SS hood?

I'm looking into a Carbon Fiber replacement and would like to know how much I can shred. That T. Burger is breathing down my neck. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

I've seen a few #'s on it in the past....typically they weigh between 40-45 lbs (The 5 lb variation is totally dependent on the accuracy of the weigher's scale)

Thanks Paul. I would think the "fiberglass" SS hood would be lighter than the steel hoods. But I don't know what they weigh either.

Either way a 7-10lb replacement should shave quite a bit of weight. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Scott is that new hood going to be pin on or bolt on? Know the number for Glasstek? I'm trying to find myself a pin on hood. VFN is on backorder. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

I haven't talked to Glasstek. I don't know yet on the CF hood. I don't think there is a light weight hood made for your car. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
