Carbin Fiber cal hood?

I currently have a 4inch cal hood on my car which i love, but was thinking of going with a lighter hood. So does anyone know what company makes a 4inch carbin fiber cal induction hood? I have a 1990 FOX.

carbon fiber is rice! unless you turn your whole car carbon fiber, there really is not use for it.. besides the looks.

You can paint carbon fiber hoods. I don't think they were ment to be left unpainted originally but some ricer got the idea and it spread like herpies.

A carbon fiber hood is only going to save you 5 pounds if you just swap from fiberglass. If your fiberglass one looks good I'd just stick with that.

I love my fiberglass hood, why pay twice?

Get a fiberglass, hatch with 1/8 in lexan, that will save a ton of weight as well.

I do wish some one made our doors lighter.
