The guy that is actually fabricating those hoods is a member on the CF site. He has been building custom body parts for quite awhile and is well regarded.

Does anybody know how much this Carbon Fiber hood weighs and what does the stock hood weigh.

Jeff and I were following the build process on this hood. It came to a dead stop when the 1st one made fit like crap. The guy was trying to get a donor car to get another made for proper fitment but could not find any volunteers that were local to him. Maybe Robert can help in moving it forward (would be great) There is a long thread on it on the CF. Go get em Robert

![]() Rob i wanted this to save weight i heard/read carbon fiber and thougt here is an easy 50lb diet but don't think this is worth the $$$ to weight savings. Rob you can save 20 lbs, just leave your wallet home. ![]() Toledo Hoods are 20+ lbs lighter then stock cost less, i also hear they can make whatever your/our needs and make them lighter. Maybe call ToledoPro for a group buy. I would want a stock looking hood and at least 40lbs savings Pete

Pete you asked for a group buy so here you go. We would have to get him a hood to use in Las Vegas.
If we are going to do this as a group buy I would suggest the Toledo pro hood. Carbonfiberhood , custom made from new mold Hoods will shrink from original donor part on average 1-2mm each side so if the donor part has gap this will have more gap. Corvette C4 Carbon fiber = $1200each 5 required to buy at once. Turn around 3-4 months.
