The stock hood weighs 73 lbs.

At least the shipping weight was 73 lbs, and the little carbboard frame it was shipped to me in couldn't have weighed more then 3-5 lbs.

Maybe the undercover material under the hood weighs a bit. I'm not sure if the carbon fiber hood has one. Hmm... would the carbon fiber hood crack without the undercover from overheating?

You know I think I have had a change of heart.... After reading people have had good dealings with this place, I think I will give them another shot. After I have calmed down for the episode I have realized that I have had bads days and maybe he was having a bad day.... I am going to try and be a bigger person than I have been in this situation... PLUS I really want the Carbon Fiber stuff.....

I met with both Tommy & Ted and they're great guys. Very easy to talk to and very nice people. I'm sorry you had a bad experience with them TommyD1919, but they were great to deal with on my end.

Here's how it looks like on a black car.
Looks sweet ACleanSC4, I can't wait to see the hood... Keep us updated...

Thumbs up gotta love the CF............

trunk looks great................that HAS to be the best piece GTP has produced to date!

I got my Varis CF vented hood about 2 months ago, the quality is second to none. As for those who were concerned during the GB( that failed).....about water getting in, the hood comes with removable rain gutters! I am still on the hunt for fenders and doors!

asnatlas,
You should come out to Dayton, one weekend. I am going to try and finish the Soarer by spring, the engine bay is getting painted right now. Hopefully, I can get the swap finished(and tuned) before Christmas.......................................................................................................................................Jimmy

Not to mention the resin they put over the CF will turn yellow over time.

Looks VERY good though Its almost a neccessity with such a heavy car such as ours.

Just use wax and the parts stay fine
