Carbon Fiber Hood

Carbon Fiber Hood
The other day I was at one of our local speed shops and this kid in a 2000'ish honda civic comes in to pick up a hood that he had ordered. He got some carbon fiber thing that was black.......his car is white. Anyway, I asked him why he dicided to get that hood for his car. He said he was trying to reduce weight in his car to go faster. Now, this kid was around 5' 6" and must have weighed 220lbs.. Does anyone else see the irony in this? ( I couldn't stop laughing once he left)

Well WhyTF do you think everybody invests money into hoods? 10-20 lbs off the front end never hurt anybody.
The added scoop / cowl is just a bonus as far as I'm concerned.
Now if the ricer dude wasn't racing his car, now that's different.

Come on guys, quit being so freakin' narrow-minded! Carbon fiber hoods obviously reduce weight, and whether you're skinny or fat, that helps! If I could get one for my car, I probably would. Pretty soon they'll be able to build their whole cars out of carbon fiber, and that would be pretty sweet imho! What do you think the McLaren is?
