Find someone selling CF hoods-- they'll surely have the stock weights.

STFA. It's about 36 for the hood and 25 for the rear lid, iirc.

Default I'm going to be measuring my stock hood Monday and my VIS cf hood on Monday also.

May not be exact, but close (good ol bathroom scale). The VIS is fiberglass, not cf. So I can't really speak for FI cf hoods.

Default Picked it up this weekend. Ahhhh, you and Meghan are going to match! How cute!

HAHA, or are you going to leave the whole thing bare? You should leave them both bare and then paint the top of your car black to blend it all in. That's what I WAS going to do, but changed my mind. Now, just going to tint windows, paint cf hood on the sides and repaint DTM's to a sportec anthracite color. kinda different.

Default AWE lists the stock hood as 45 lbs. and the trunk at...

at least over 30 as they say there Carbon one saves 30 lbs off the stock one. I don't know if this is BS though I've never weighed mine.

Default Yeah, you can inflate the measurements if you include insulation/sound deadening/the reflective

triangle/trim, etc.

Default I know! Isn't it sooooo cute! We're going to hold hands during the install. lol.....

I'm leaving mine raw carbon so she doesn't want to kill me! =) I like the black roof idea. I saw that dark gray S4 with the wide body kit at a show and it looked pretty cool in person. It's going to have to wait awhile though.
