Fiberglass SS hood Which one?
I'm really looking into getting down to 3200lbs......
And the front of the car needs to loose weight.
WHich fiberglass SS hood do you guys recommend as the lightest and best quality?
How much weight do you end up saving ??
Same thing goes for the battery, which one and how much do weight do you end up saving?
Any comments help.
Thanx

I used to have an rksport replica (my car came with it). I regret selling it. It was VERY light for a bolt-on hinged hood, and fit the contours of a camaro 10x better than my current harwood. I sold the RK for an authentic SS hood, couldn't get over how heavy it was....now I have the crap fit harwood.

My harwood is definitly heavier. I don't think you will see toooo much of a difference from company to company. It is just a matter of hinged, or pin-on.

You can see my post where I weighed the underhood structure and the outer skin. I was going by memory for the 53lbs but I was off a little. The hood weight came in at 51.5 lbs.
