cf hood weight?
has anyone that has a cf hood weighed it against their stock hood? i would really be interested in the weight difference, and btw does anyone know of a way to fit a OEM hood in the trunk? i know it is weird but i might have to take off my hood when i get the cf and somehow get it home.

not sure how much the stock one weighs ... I would GUESS around 30 pounds ...

my generic brand cf hood weighs around 8 pounds (estimated) ... and weighs much less than my VIS one did

I totally dont think thats fitting in the trunk. Get a blanket and strap that bad boy to the roof, and drive wit your hazards on.
