This is the only place you should get your after market carbonfiber or fiberglass body parts.
By the way, our newer stang hoods are fiberglass. After market fiberglass hoods are lighter and borderline flimsy. But that's the point.

edit: I should have said most after market fiberglass hoods are lighter than stock, because there are OEM fiberglass hood companies.

I say dont waste the money on hoods and trunk lids if your goal is to make the car faster. Put that $$$ towards a power pak or something instead of a hood. Especially if your goal is to go fast. Now, if you want to put the car on a "diet", do it right. It takes one person to drive an automobile. There are four seats. Do the math. There is also a good deal of weight tied up in the carpet, sound deadening material and plastic in your car. You rip all of that out, then there is some weight reduciton. Replace the only seat left in the car(hopefully you left the driver seat in) with a super light weight Recaro seat and bam. Cheap, easy and effecient weight loss. Thats a "diet", not replacing a hood and trunklid to shed 20lbs. or less.
