Weight saving

Z Runner · 05-19-2016, 12:51 AM

Any one with carbon fiber hood and hatch can tell me how much weight I can save over oem staff? Thanks.

won't save much with a cf hood

and the hatch may have fitment issues

lot's of other sound options to reduce weight for performance

search there is a thread on that

Depending on the quality of the hood, the CF version might actually be heavier then stock.

Unless you get a dry carbon fiber hood.

Not sure about hatches.

Wet CF panels are often heavier than OEM. Dry CF is the lightweight stuff but costs $$$$.
