Carbon Fiber Hood

I would love to this type of carbon fiber hood. JDP might be interested to do it if there is enough interest. I would think it is better than air scoop at the windshield area.

aside from the scoops, is there any advantage of this over the stock hood? does the stock hood weigh a lot?

when lifting up the fit hood, it seems really light already!

Functionally I doubt you will get any improvements. Would be more things to think about with CF hoods.

I'd recommend just wrapping the stock hood if you just want the CF look.
