While I've never weighed the hoods and don't recall the weight of the Seibon hood (bought in '08). The Seibon is actually heavier due to it being a carbonfiber overlay. I don't recall the material used to make the hood but it is not 100% CF.

w.t.f.








wow, that blows. Sorry I know that hurts because of all you put into it.

I had a FB freind who had a TT Nismo and he sold it. A week or so ago the guy he sold it to smashed it to hell as well. Had to deliver the news to him. The curse of having such a powerful machine I guess.

I got rid of the V. Too many recalls and spent more time in the shop than on the road. Plus the MPGs were killing my wallet with a 100mile work commute.
