ricers.... Just cut the suppports out of your current hood and you have almost the same weight..... Ill take a pic when I do it tomorrow.

almost, but not quite. :) That's like using a lightened stock flywheel rather than an aluminum one. But the rice factor, that's why I said if the price was low enough. It's not worth it to me right now unless I can get it really cheap. Then, it's functional rice. That I can handle.

Really got a good look at the targa top this weekend, but didn't get a chance to talk to him about it. I was impressed that he did it himself, looked really good.

i remember seeing a place online last year that if you buy a bumper cover (body kit) you could get as many free carbon fiber hoods as you want all you have to pay is shipping... ill try to find the link later, but that might be a good place to get alot of cheap ones... and if i remember right they had the preditor stye and oem, and an oem 1g too. just a thought

yea man i know exactly what you are talking about.
there was actually some big catch to it if we are thinking of the same thing

ya i checked the site and the offer is run out.... but more than likely there was a catch to it..... there is no way they would give away free carbon fiber hoods!

Also, back when they were having that "special" people were receiving their hoods and complaining that they didn't fit properly and where having a lot of problems with them....just a thought
