now adays whether you like it or not people not only use it to shave weight off their car, they use it for looks. I could care less if my car weighed 4 pounds less. I drive my car twice a week, and to be honest with you I think it looks f#ckin badass. Blame the ricer honda boys with mixmatched unpainted primered body kits that kill it.

Yeah you have to be careful around here. There are lots of sharks in these here forums. Yarrr! What the problem was that you weren't clear with what you wanted to know in your original post. It does look like you are trying to get a CF hood made by Mazda (OEM) when in reality you just wanted to know what one would weigh that had the same dimensions of an OEM hood. And like I said earlier, the weight, I was told once, between a aluminum hood and a CF hood is negligable in difference. Meaning that the only purpose for a CF hood on an RX-8 is for aesthetic value and does not do much to reduce weight.

I didn't figure it was so lite.

Yeah it's pretty light. I wonder if they are counting in the insulative material on the bottom of the hood though? But that material wouldn't make a 10 pound difference I don't think.

I guess it boils down to colour matching and some decals decor which is the way to go if you want the 2F2F looks = mean & fierce. Anotherwise keep it stock with minor changes if you like classic sport looks.

Lets just say that at retail price plus tires would have been a little over 4k. On top of that, volks just went up in price, and an extra $50 a wheel.. =X .....
