Someone on here posted a link to a carbon fiber SS style hood a few months ago. I've got a black car and would paint it to match myself but was WAY too expensive at over $1500 plus shipping. The weight savings alone would be worth the difference over a stock metal hood..... if you can just get past the price. I found a stock OEM SS here online here for WAY less than half the price of the CF hood.

Yeah the carbon fiber ZL1 hood was the first to come out... I haven't yet seen a OEM style SS hood in carbon fiber... and I hadn't seen the stock style.. (but they might be available here in the US as well..)

Id settle for a fiber glass hood with a scoop on it or something that may way a tad more and cost half the price. I just ordered an xenon ground kit so with that added weight im going to use that as an excuse to get me an SS hood to make up for the weight difference.

I wonder how much difference in weight a GF hood is vs. a fiberglass hood?

If I was a very, VERY hardcore racer, I would get the CF hood for weight. Other than that, no thanks!
