I saw a picture of it, it has air-cuts above the headlights and very light weight. The cost : cca. 5000USD !!!
Is the factory hood aluminum or plastic ??? Doesn't sounds like metal...

Its completely carbon fiber, and I was considering importing it myself... hard to do though. Instead I found a place in LA that will MAKE one for you, just like it, vents complete. I'm looking into it next week... they need to borrow your existing hood to measure it, but I think the weight reduction might really be worth it. The finished product is 1/5th the weight.

Regards,

Loren
