Each to his own, and it does look good, but it's just wrong to add all that weight...
i like the sound of that, now how much would it be to make cf version of all the body parts of the yaris?

Thank you for your input
A cf hood is about 4 pounds lighter than the stock hood, and a cf trunk is at least 15 lbs lighter due to the rear wiper delete.
