My second favorite hood, but more than likely the one i'm gonna end up switching to.

Where did you re-locate your power steering reservoir to??


Looks really good btw!

Very nice!

What was the weight savings compared to the OEM metal hood?

Are those figs struts lower-powered compared to the OEM hood struts so that they don't bend the frp hood? Where did you buy them from?

not sure of the exact weight savings, but its alot...

the stock IS300 hood only had a stupid stick prop, no gas powered struts like every other damn lexus....so, I bought them through: www.figsprops.com they are specific for carbon fiber/fiberglass hood

I just went on the site and they have the hood props for CF only for your car, not my car.
