Hoods

Isphius · 01-20-2006, 04:01 PM

Im looking around for a fiberglass hood (im not paying 600$ for a hood), because im trying to get some weight off the car. my goal is to get at least 150-200 lbs off the car. (86)

Switching hoods wont save 150 200 pounds/ might be 20 pounds lighter, cool hood on ebay for sale!

from what ive been reading, even a gutted out mk3 is still a heavy pig, it sounds like your better off upgrading the turbo and raising the boost for more power with the supporting mods.....

i think www.carbonfibrefx.com has hoods also
