Is 40 lbs heavy for a fiberglass hood? how much do the 98+ ram air hoods weigh?

The weight of these hoods varies widely from manufacturer to manufacturer. I seen them from 25 to 60 lbs.

We bought a ASCD 2 1/2" cowl and removed the bottom half, so it now weights around 20 lbs.

Here's what he said:


"Hello again... I do hand-build these hoods personally, and relist them on ebay every week, so if you'd like to get one in the future, they'll be there. As far as the weight goes, they come in at approximately 32 lbs.... still about 20 lbs. less than the factory WS6 hood. Just let me know if you have anymore questions. Thanks again. -Roger "
