Default Hood weight question

Is there anything part of the hood that can be removed for weight without going to a bolt on. I didnt know if part of the latch could be removed. I have been trying to search all morning with no luck.

Thanks
Jeremy

If your working with a NON WS.6 hood, the best I have ever seen done was Removing the Shocks. Also cutting out the steel under framing which makes the hood flimsy. IMO not worth it.

you can by a stock pin on hood from vfn, that would save a ton of weight and still look stock..
