wait, so the cf hood was 27lbs lighter than stock? or you lost 27lbs off your body? lol

how much did your cf hood weigh? from the thread in the tech section, the stock hood is 15lbs.

also, your oem trunk had a wing on it too right? so 18lbs with wing?

DEEDUBBX, I got another question.. What made you go with the OEM CF hood? Why not the TSII CF hood or Varis CF hood, etc?

Sorry if i made that sound confusing.

The carbon fiber hood is only 1 lb lighter than the stock hood.

The carbon fiber trunk is 11lbs lighter than the stocktrunk+wing.

The 27lbs was pertaining to my personal weight loss =) hahaha

good question, i would have liked to go wit ha vented hood but I wanted to retain the stock clean subtle look. The varis hood was something I was considering but I love the lines of the rx8 too much to alter them. =)

Very clean ride, I like it! I've been thinking about the same set up for my TiGray. I had my eyes on the TSII, but I like the lines on the 8 a little too much just like you. Nice volks BTW. What size? Anyone here has the TSII on a TiGray? OH yeah Congrats on the newborn
