Depends on the hood I think. But I know for a fact that some of them are heavier than the stock hood. I just think buying a vented hood is worth it alone to get rid of some of that hot air.

[quote name='TYSON' date='Sep 14 2005, 11:27 AM']I like the AD9 hood, but I would get the Scoot for my car because I can actually make use of that hood scoop......

wonder if it could be made to feed the filter on the turbo??

Just because it has carbon fibre cloth in the bonnet/hood doesn't mean it's real cf -chances are it's just a cf layer in fibreglass. Especially if it's inexpensive.

The AD9 is real carbon. Single layer even. It weighs about as much as a half eaten biscuit.



Get the AD9. It's glamourous and it makes people like you. Kinda like smoking.....

^ I love it when I misspell stuff and don't notice until long after the edit button is gone.....

Thats the advantage to having a "glamourous". Nobody notices.
