S2000 Hood Material
I have this hole in my hood that was put there by the previous owner to funnel cold air to the intake. All is good with it but in the rain I need to cover it so I don't suck in water.
I had a great Idea to create some type of magnetic cover but after some research I found that magnets wont stick to the s2k hood. They do stick to the fenders.
So what is the hood made of aluminum? It is very light and I wonder how much weight savings you actually get from a carbon hood on this car.

yes. aluminum.
what is the little scoop made of? is it aluminum as well? if not, you might be able to magnetize that... but I would guess it'd fly off at speed.
you should be able to pick up an OEM uncut hood for cheap though if all else fails.

And I have the K&N FIPK air intake. So the hole in the hood lines up pretty good with my intake.
At first I wasn't sure about the hole but I definitely want to keep it now.

The word I on the street is that CF hoods are so light that they shake around in the wind unless you have hood pins.
