here's what he got from his carbon fiber hood (not seibon)

I installed this with a friend in about 5 minutes. I did weigh both hoods:
Stock Hood: 12 lbs. 10 oz.
CF Hood: 7 lbs. 14 oz., saving almost 5 pounds.

well you might want to ask cali if he's still doing that GB for cf hoods because until Seibon makes their cf hoods a bit better I'm not too sure how many YW ppl will be buying them (aside from cali and myself who purchased them already)

I'm not buying, just commenting that it was better than I thought!! I wouldn't pay that much for a 5 lb savings, I'm not dedicated to racing....I'd just take a crap instead!
