I'd have to imagine that doors with full glass weigh a lot more than 50lbs too?

Surprisingly the stock hood weighs 41.2 lbs ,fiberglass is 12.4 lbs and carbon is 9.7 lbs .
I also checked the weight of all of the sound deadening i removed from my car and i mean all including the tar sheets , it weighs 82.9 lbs

Good data, catamax. I'm surprised about the sound deadening material. What does it sound like to drive the car on the streets without it?
Isn't a fiberglass hood supposed to be lighter than carbon fiber?

The Tar sheets are the worst.

Hey guys I wanted to show you this. It's a black 951 with a carbon fiber hood. I don't like eBay and don't want to support it...but....alas:

HOLD ON A SECOND! Is that a "carbon fiber" STICKER?! Just noticed this on a closer look...
Ad says it's a carbon fiber hood from GT racing, but what's up with the border?

They just build wide body for my 944, the fenders I have a mould, the rears have been hand-build on the car, so nothing there.
pat, if you want a set of the fronts, i can have them made and shipped...
