nope. wouldnt lessen the rigidity, thats what the strut bar is for. carbon fiber is to be a strong lightweight material. why bother, when you can just go fiberglass for less. it might not be as strong, but why would you be putting stress on the hood anyway??
I think fiberglass doesnt hold very well over large surfaces like a hood, plus (don't quote me on this) I think fiber glass doesn't like heat much or something, anyway, there's a reason why saturns still use metal hoods but can't remember why.....
