Default Looking for a Lightweight hood

Must fit a '95 EX coupe and have a "stock" appearance. I would prefer a fiberglass "skin" over a CF hood. Any suggestions on where I my find a manufacturer?

Thanks, I intend to paint over it regaurdless. My friend had a fiberglass "skin" on his car that weighed in a 7lbs, but it has been a while. Very light weight. Much lighter than any CF hood I have found.

well for no cost at all you can take out all the metal braceings on ur hood that will defently help u out in the weight department but you will have to add a minimum of 2 hood pins
