Are you doing it for looks? The hood is already aluminum. What is the weight savings? Curious.

I bought it with some front end damage including the hood. A new aluminum hood with only prime coat is around $1600. No paint is needed for a carbon fiber hood and cost less to begin with.

OK. Makes sense. How do the weights compare?
