Carbon Fiber Evo 9 Hood.

[CaliMR619]

Does anybody know what a carbon fiber evo hood weighs? Compared to the stock one? I have heard that it along with the trunk adds weight. Just wondering since I don't want to spend 600 bucks too add weight. Thanks.

Depends on what hood you are looking at because some hoods are just a fiberglass skeleton with a carbon fiber skin.

I'd say over 9000lbs

Not all are created equal tho

I was probably just going to go with vis. But if it's not a big difference then I wont bother. I'll just spend the money on more go fast parts. I really only want to change to the JDM bumper. Thats it for the outside.

[HKSemo]

JDM rear bumper is = sexiest exterior 'mod' for evos imo


only thing is, if you want to get a modded exhaust, you have to get the exhaust piping made custom or it will hit and burn your bumper

[CaliMR619]

Or a JDM exhaust.

ricers . For some reason there seems to be no weight numbers out there for the VIS hood. IMO the money would be better spent on some go fast goodies

[CaliMR619]

There is no rice here. If I had nothing but money I would have a fleet of different cars. Like a new ZR1. And a supercharged Ranger Rover Sport, and GT-R, and like list goes on and on. But I work with what I got!

[bmxer99]

i say get the go fast goodies first. then mod the appearance after everyone knows your fast
