Considering a carbon fiber option and most only make one for the 996, not the 997 yet. Is the hood interchangeable between 996s and 997s??

And with a 997 they went to ALU so it's so much lighter than a 996 one was there's no real point in changing for a CF one either on the 997 platform. At least on the 996 one you'll save 20 pounds or so.
