Wow !! Didn't think it was that heavy. Are you sure ? It's a composit hood. The stock hoods are 47-48lbs. Thanks for the response Chris.

A stock SS hood is 51 lbs and it's composite too, it's got a lot of layers.

I had no idea they were that heavy I thought they would be alittle lighter. Looks like I'll be getting another hood soon. Now i got to figure out which one to get. I'm thinking about the stock lift-off hood. The other 4" hoods aren't that appealing, they just don't look right to me.
