Just the rear wing and front spoiler are Rottec, the hood is off the auction site. Saved almost 20lbs

I've always like CF hoods. I don't know if it is the angle, it seems that there is a gap between the hood and the fenders.

JoeinLA is infamous around these parts
There's a place in LA selling carbon fiber hoods for like $250 or something cheap; but it says that they're not street legal...?

Does anyone know if the cops actually care about this, or if this is just a CYA on the seller's part?

they say not street legal because your supposed to have hood pins on it cause its ability to fly up being light is greater then a steel hood, i have never heard of a Police officer giving anyone trouble with a Carbon hood most wont even know what it is let alone there be a law they can cit against it.
