Seibon carbon fiber TS hood Installed

Go with the aerocatch hood pins. I'd highly recommend them. Why risk the chance?

I picked up one Of these TS hoods thinking it would be "close" to stock hood weight based on feedback I have read here.

Well if stock hood weighs 16 lbs this thing weighs close to 7 lbs more! It looks great but I'm not willing to add that much weight. It's a boat anchor. I don't think I have felt a wet carbon hood as heavy as this sucker!

I may have one for sale cheap soon! Lol!

Dry carbon would be lighter if they made it.

Yeah was trying to go cheaper route, but this wet is one heavy mother. I think I will work on reducing weight on stocker and put my own vents in.

Probably sell this to someone who is less worried about weight than me.

Let me know if you come up with something for vents. It's an easy bake oven at full blast with my setup.

If this latches like the factory hood and weighs more why is there any more risk of this opening at speed than there is with the factory hood? Or does that occasionally happen to factory hoods as well?

Sorry for the necro-bump.

Where can I get this hood for the price this guy advertised "out the door"? $600 (?!!)

The Seibon website is asking $1020.
