The subtle carbon fibre look is great on a Black SVT, making me wonder what the same treatment would look like on my Dark Shadow Grey. If it was painted using the same method only in DSG. Hum...time to do a little photchopping.

Usally when I think for Carbon Fiber Hoods, I think of RICE. But your Snake looks sick with that hood. Make me want to change my Hood out. What is the weight you are saving with that hood?

dd - I dont really know where the guy got the hoods from, he said they are supposed to be the same as the SHM hood. But I really don't have any proof of that, sorry about that :shrug:

Hey Bro,

If it's not too much trouble, can you send me a couple of pics of the inside of the hood? I'd like to see the bracing and latch mechanism. [email protected]

Thanks,

MJ

yeah, I sent them that same day. You didn't get them? They didn't get returned to me?

If you didn't get them, maybe I should just post them here?

That's odd, I never got them. You can either post them or send them to me at: [email protected]

Thanks,

MJ

Whats up Sean :beer:

The stock hood weighs around 40lbs and the CF hood is around 25lbs :beer: Honestly, I was hoping for a little more weight reduction, but oh well.
