    You had me getting all excited for nothing. I guess I shouldnt expect a barn sell to cure shipping problems. Anybody out there feel like transporting a cowl hood to Texas for me?

    They are extremely light weight. The stock Grabber hood takes a fair amount of effort to lift. The carbon fiber takes virtually no effort to lift. I don't know the weight difference but it is very significant. (y)

    At a guess I would say they weigh about 1/3 of a steel hood, at least the cowl hood does.

    What's all the "beef"? It's not a GT hood. Just cause it's a good deal don't make it the best. :rofl2:

    That might be the case. But the problem is that even if he has one to sell me, I cant get it. The are issues with shipping a hood of this size. Its been thoroughly discussed and I really was just razzing MM about it.

    Yeah but it would always look better on my car. :thumbs2:
