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

I will call Toledo pro and see if they want to do a group buy as well.

If some of us got off the pumpkin pie and ice cream,after turkey day would not take long to lose 40 lb.s probably fit in the seat better too

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.

Thanks Rob,you are awesome.
That is a killer price.
Like i mentioned in my previous post after finding out it only saves 20 something lbs just not worth the price.

If it shaved 50 lbs i would be all over it.

Also Toledo Pro no longer makes C4 hoods. They sold that part of the business to ACI

Pete, You are looking at around 60# total.

Jeff, I knew that a couple of months ago, I am waiting on Brett from ACI to call me back.

The Blackdog hood has come down a lot in price I see, still not cheap by any means but I'm guessing the quality on this piece is very good. I am very interested in a lightweight factory style hood.

Rob,i read on the other forum it only shaves 20 lbs.
The 60 lb lighter hood is this something new or are we confusing the total weight of the hood they make (60 lbs) since the OE hoods weigh 80lbs for a 20 lb savings.

Don't we have any Vegas members?

Pete,

I always thought you would never be awake before 11am?

That's funny. I think I started getting Pete up early with my 8 a.m. "Pete i'm on my way" wake up calls!
