[quote name='Shane.Trammell' date='Sep 14 2005, 07:37 AM']isnt the fiberglass lighter than the cf? if you are going to paint it and you dont need the strength of the cf you should just save your money and go with the fiberglass?

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......

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.....
