Carbon fiber hood? - Focaljet

**tymeks** · 02-28-2008, 10:04 PM

Just trying to get everything sorted out. To get to the proper weight, are you guys putting carbon fiber hoods on?

Per the rules, its not allowed.

22.19 All body panels other than those permitted to be replaced above must remain OEM with no fiberglass, composite or other materials allowed for items such as fenders, doors, hoods, roofs, trunk lids, and hatchbacks.

I just aquired a stock black hood to replace my carbon fiber hood.

The ZX3 should have no problem meeting the weight. Once you strip the interior and remove most of unnecessary stuff like AC and Power anything you should be right there or even too like. If you are having issues with weight you can always go with Lexan
