What material is the hood made of? And how much did it cost? And do they, or could they, make a trunk lid out of the same material? And, lastly, would having a hood and/or trunk lid made out of a lighter material have any adverse effect on structural integrity?<p>I'd like to find some ways to save a little weight on my 2.8, but I don't really want to gut the car.<p>Thanks.<p>Rich D.<br>'98.0 A4 2.8 QM

I'm not Cameron, but we did the car here at Vortrag and if you wish to email me privately, I can shed some light on the material, weight savings, cost and the availability of other composite parts for the A4.<p>Todd C.
