goto http://www.zcarparts.com/store/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=TZS&Product_Code=50-1860CF&Category_Code=BSC10


costs $900..but the Z hood is aluminum. so i wonder how much weight you can actually save with a CF hood

good luck

Default OEM Style hood

Im just got a carbonfiber oem hood from www.mbautosport.com. Its very good quaility hood from japan.

The carbonfiber weave is good and the underside is painted black and looks like factory.

I scratched it when i accidently dropped a gallon bottled water on it. The hood is being re-clear coated so Ill post pics of it on the monday after I pick it up.

The hood is not on MB's site yet but you can order it from the owner. Ask for Min he will help you. Paul

VIS racing has one. CNile has it on his car. Awesome quality and about 550-600 if im correct. OEM style is what they have now, its a nice weave, and has all factory latches and holes. i can get you one if your interested. and it is actually ligther then stock, maybe a pound or two but it is
