The weight as i said will be 35 lbs. , so it will be 75 lbs less than original hood! .
YES it will use the stock hood hinges and locking latch pins

Really interested in to buy and to be able to reduce the weight.
Do I live in Barcelona / Spain, your you indicate that you live in Cerka Republika, above Austria, where in Praha?
My idea for the transport would be to catch my Pontiac TransSport and to pick up it personally.
As much as it would cost me the I ship Barcelona?
If you indicate me the exact address, I can ask to my habitual transport company as much as it can cost me,

As I recall, their Hi-Rise hoods are about 77 pounds. A functioning cowl induction produces air to the engine compartment reducing heat. So it might make sense to look at producing it in CF. Maybe a collaboration with them? Food for thought.

Z,
you can creat CF Stock profil hood and use 2 open Ducts as Callaway did to TT 900 hp Corvette
this will reduce under hood temperature
