Why would anyone want a CF hood? That is just about as ridiculous as the CF interior parts.

Now, a CF engine compartment lid would at least make a bit of sense...

The Gemballa is actually over $3000 now (went up quite a bit) and weighs 14lbs

Carolina, I need to replace the hood anyway, so while I'm at it I figured I'd lose a little weight.

If you're replacing it anyways, I can partially understand that... the reason why the hood sounds ridiculous to me is that the car has too little weight up front to start with... if you want to remove weight, it would be best to remove it from the rear to improve the balance.

CF interior to me is ridiculous b/c it is snap on, ugly stuff that saves no weight and has no purpose.

Just my $0.19.

It's all subjective. I think CF pieces are nice.
