you cut all the hood reinforcements out? just wondering, do you have the weight before and after?

steve shadows · 10-25-2008, 06:13 PM

I would have to say it's about half the weight from before. Did not measure it though. pretty good with guessing weights used to lift a lot.

steve shadows · 10-25-2008, 08:54 PM

I am just going to lock the price in at 85 bucks for anyone who wants this bad boy.

I did check it when I went by my house, the stripped hood is almost the same weight as the new VIS hood I bought

SqueekyClean · 10-25-2008, 10:23 PM

They made the re-enforcement skeleton for a reason.
Now it's a huge piece of sheet metal.

$50 bucks?

Mista Lee · 10-26-2008, 06:36 PM

I'd be all over this if it still had the framing.
glws.

racepar1 · 10-26-2008, 06:46 PM

Put some hood pins on it and it'll be fine, mine is.
"Wah wah wah, it's flimsy"
Carbon/fiberglass hoods are flimsy too, and they don't look as smooth!

steve shadows · 10-27-2008, 11:15 PM

Took the car up to 140+ no movement even without hood pins (top of 4th gear at 8100 rpm with 500 brake hp and 4.08 final)

The way I see it I did the work for you. I don't put my name on rickety shit, I test everything first. It is flimsy when it's propped up but not as flimsy as the FPR or fiberglass hoods I have seen.

Throw some pins on it if your worried. Still stronger by a large measure than any CF or Fiberglass hood by weight. Make it 80 even so you can put 5 dollars through some 15 dollar standard hood pins. , but I'm not going lower.

1jz 240sx · 10-28-2008, 09:33 AM

whats good. do you still have this hood. if so hit me up @ 9088214001 asap. i want this.
