I'm thinking of installing a CF hood to my S2000 , how much weight am I going to save?

and on J's CF hood, is the hood scoop functional?? What is it for? Aerodynamic, intake??




Here I am again.. daydreaming.

 

I heard it was about the same, since our hood is aluminum and pretty light already.

 

cjb80 - what do you think about the weight differences on your J's hood?

also, the scoop isn't like a cowl type induction, but might add additional cooling for the radiator heat to be exhausted from under the hood.

 

Stock hood less paint was weighed by cmnsense to be at 17lbs. So stock hood is probably close to 20lbs.

 

You don't get a C/F hood to save weight for this car, the aluminium hood weighs very little..

The J's hood is a vented hood for lowering underhood temps, I was driving around alot tonight and I could see the heat rising out of the hood, which is pretty interesting considering that the vent is right over the supposed cold air intake!!!

 

Why is everyone so picky about a few pounds here and there. I think its cheaper and healthier just to LOSE 10 lbs.

 

Getting a vented hood would be a good reason to buy a CF hood. Smoke coming out of the vents? Wow, it actually has functionality.

Too cool. A tuner commenting on his own design. Keep on posting JJ.

 

JJ, is that 10C or 10F?
