Carbon fiber hood

What do you folks think about this new carbon fiber hood that was just released.

I'm still curious about a few things regarding build and layup type..

 

You would have to cover that thing in sponsor decals to make it schweet

Wonder what would happen in a crash?

 

My truck came stock with a hood.

 

I think tufskinz makes a cover for the hood

 

Dang kinda interesting. Who makes it?

 

Seibon

 

should premier in fast and the furious 19.

 

Anyone know the weight of it? I think it looks good if it saved a bunch of weight that’d be another plus.

 

The stock hood is probably like 20 pounds. This thing is probably around 3. Just guessing, I have no actual specs.

 

If I were to venture a guess I’d say the stock is at least 2-3 times that weight but I really have no idea. I tried to search on TW and google and couldn’t find anything on the carbon hood or OEM

 

Our stock hood is def more than 20lbs imo

 

I'm just curious if the construction 100% carbon fiber and not 99% fiberglass and 1% carbon. I haven't seen any other photos of the underside if its braced to have a rigid structure like oem.

 

Thing looks good imo

 

This

 

If it’s flammable, I’m in.

 

Makes that truck look like a AutoZone / Walmart accessory aisle queen . Carbon fiber hood on a truck, why? Defeats the whole I pretend to off road capability thing people are going for these days.

 

Uhhhh... stock hood is definitely not 60lbs. I could lift it with 2 fingers.

 

So carbon fiber hood to save weight for a lifted and armored truck? That's like ordering 6 meals from McDonald's and then a water because you're on a 'diet'

 

Yeah i can see it being between 20-40lbs but I doubt its any more than that.

 

Maybe from one end of it but I would love to see you try and hold it with 2 fingers while detached lol.

Somewhere around 40 is probably right.

Lol that’s an awesome analogy. Saving weight on something cosmetic seems like a decent idea to me if it’s good quality though.
