They look cool and they are lighter. I think they are a little more than half the weight of the other ones. Just a way to lose some weight. I know they make CF trunks too for some cars.

Rep Power: 0 I disagree with Diznavis, I think the hood looks sweet with Grey or White, but i love it when it is one a blue car. I want one but i have a black car and don't know how it would look.
