Any hood pins that don't stand out for my CF hood, I would rather go back to metal than run pins you

can see well. I bought the car with the fiber images hood but have never been a fan of hood pins and never thought it was a good idea to run with a CF hood unless using them so I would like to either go back to a stock hood or find pins that mount flush and turn. Anyone want to trade? The hood is painted black and unpainted on the under side.

Default Still to much, I was hoping for a flush mount style. My father-in-laws S4 race car

doesn't even have a CF hood so I'm not really sold on the idea. I'm sure champion would have used one if they could but it still shows that there are many other places to lose weight.

Default exactly, but I am thinking more along the lines of seats, light battery, light exhaust (done), and

other more street friendly weight savings since this car is a daily driver that I will track a few times a year.

Default Can you get something like a Harwood Dzus style fastener?

Like Marx said, I'd consider a trade too. I'm in Chicago.
