Your a funny guy
as a DIY, perhaps (if the person is over their head), by a good bodyshop, they assume the risk, not the customer

You will lose weight with the right carbon fiber hood. Like everything else, you get what you pay for.

FYI he never asked me for a carbon hood, or any questions about one

Here are some full pics of the hood. I'll get some better ones when I get the DSLR back from my friend.

Looks awesome! Hate to say it but each vent is not a uniform size by just a little bit.

This is the only one I have right now. Notice the stock hood has those same reinforcements, those had to be cut out.

This thread gets bumped every year, lol.

I`m boosted and concerned with engine bay heat. After looking around Z1s site: http://www.z1auto.com/silverstone.asp I ran into the linked pix.

I sure as hell want this mod for my OEM hood. I have a buddy that`s really good at fabricating and welding so I`ll coordinate with him.

The only issue I have is with the cage/grille that was used on the reverse side of the vents. What was used and where can I buy one (them)?

THIS IS WHAT I MEAN:
