Default what is the weight of the JDMSHIT carbon fiber hood?

im in a debate right now with a coworker and im on the east coast so emailing newman will do me no good right now. i was wondering if anyone knew how much the carbon fiber hoods from JDMSHIT weight? i was thinking about 5-10 lbs is that too light? i mean it feels really light compared to the OEM hood

I'd like to know since the prices are low now and I had thought about getting one, but it looks to be fiberglass with a cf layer on top.... not known for being the lightest of construction.

you can just get a skin too. You wouldn't even have to paint it and it would stay with the sleeper theme.

Yes, all of our hoods come pre-drilled with holes for the windshiled washer nozzles. Here are some big pics of an EG hood on one of our cars: http://www.JDMshit.com/EGcfhood

wel yes they come predrilled with holes. unfortunately i have bad news the holes are just what they are holes. they are too small. i could not fit my oem washer things in them. i would have to drill them out bigger but i decided to leave them out i never use them anyways, and the holes for the hood props are not predrilled. the spots for them are there but they are filled or covered up. i had to use a dremmel to cut my holes out for my hood prop. other than that great hood.
