Carbon Fibre NA Hood
Is there such thing as a carbon fibre NA hood? I have an NA, and the hood is HEAVY!!! I'd like to get a lighter hood, but I don't want to get a carbon fibre TII hood... don't want the scoop...

The stock aluminum hoods are pretty light.

I'm guessing that my stock hood isn't aluminum... it weighs a TON!!! I think it's made of lead

yes there were two types of N/A hoods that came with the FC; Steel and Aluminum. And the difference is very noticable.
