It looks nice, but I have to wonder... what's the point of adding CF parts, if you're just going to offset the weight loss by adding in heavy audio equipment?

The audio equipments are about 40 extra lbs, I think. If I need to take the car to the track, it would only take me about 5 to 10 minutes to remove the audio equipments.

very nice. what weave? 1x1 or 2x2?
but my only concern is with traction in the rear. It's already bad enough, and now you made it lighter. This could be cause for concern on a track. possibly.

I got the grade A hood from a friend who got the hood but did not install on his car. He sole his S right after he got the hood. The trunk is made by VIS.

I don't know the weave for my carbon hood and trunk. I am pretty ingnorance when come to carbon subject. All I know is carbon makes my car look much better
I will address the suspension after I have completed the second project. Which means suspension will be my third project. Once all three projects are completed, I will take my car to the track and see how she does.

Now how many people *actually* buy CF parts for the weight drop?

Not many I'd wager... they look cool - and there's nothing wrong with that.

The weight loss is minimal, you wont feel a difference at all.
