hood
I really really like the saleen hood... the one with the two black ventsthat continuously flashes over here-------------------->
I've looked around and I see prices for hoods around 700-1200 bucks! Its a sheet of metal... WTF?!?! Why so much?

RE: hood
I like that one as well. Speakin of people gone crazy, this guy where I get some of my parts said he could get it, paint it and put it on for 1500$ AND he wants me to give him my stock hood.

RE: hood
Keep in mind that pretty much any aftermarket hood is going to be heavier than the stock hood. From a performance point of view, that's not good. These cars are way too heavy as it is. But, I understand the eye appeal. That's a lot of money just to add weight to the car though. 
Just my $.02.

RE: hood
That's a nice looking hood. I couldn't find how much it weighs though, other than it's 9 lbs lighter than one of their other hoods. Do you know the weight?
Not sure I beleive that there are many available that are much lighter than stock though. Do you have some examples? Most of the Cervini hoods (for example) are heavier than stock.
