I'm not sure about other fiberglass hoods though. Dan Z28SORR 12-02-2004, 12:23 PM Yes, it depends on the type of hood. As stated OEM type composite hoods are not much lighter, if at all. However fiberglass "racing" hoods can be much light, but require special mounting. Perimeter Dzues fasteners or hood pins. kingman109 12-02-2004, 06:19 PM umm i think my stock hood vs my FFI fiberglass hood was only about 4lbs difference if i recall | ||
