So these guys managed to build carbon replacement parts that are jsut as heavy as metal?
I have a Seibon carbon fiber hood. It is much lighter than the stock hood. I put it on myself, and anyone else could easily do the same.

it depends on how old the stuff is that you bought. all of their new stuff fits really well. this was my last seibon hood. as you can see, fitment is as good as OEM. my friend has a seibon top secret style he bought at the same time, and it fits just as good.

doubtful even once you've carved all the inside out. resin weighs alot. dry carbon is a different story.

i have a seibon vsII hood on my s2k, the fitment was great but thats about it.

the problem i have, and heard of this with other people, is that after awhile the cf starts to turn a little yellow.

next time i will save up and get a j's or asm hood

the carbon fiber weave itself shouldn't turn yellow.
it's the resin that turns yellow.
