Default 5th gen factory hood weight

im thinking its 35-40 lbs
and prelude cf hoods would be 15-20lbs

your hoods really heavy.
it would help alot if you take more stuff off in front.
a/c compressor too...that's close to 50lbs off.

For some reason I am stuck with the idea that I've heard factory 5th gen hoods weigh 28-30lbs and the CF hood weighs 9lbs. I am not positively sure though.

OH yeah, you won't see a difference with CF hoods unless you have a Pro-Stock Drag car running 9s. Every ounce counts then....
