Be honest, you know nothing...

Psst, check your PM's...

Right. I don't know everything, but I know a lil bits.

That is exactly right.

that explains why it's so heavy.. more of a CF "look" hood than a true CF hood. :p

the mashaw hoods also use the stock mounting hardware AFAIK..

That is exactly right.

That hood is a VIS hood. I know by the weight you listed.

id also like to suggest you try harder to wrap your feeble, pea-sized brain around my statements.

can i suggest that there is in fact something such as a stupid question?

Please, I have lots of experience in cage building, just haven't seen that approach.

totally awesome, did you (or will you) swap out the steering rack for something with a lower ratio? (Or was that already in here and I missed it?)

The stock 318is rack is still in there. This car came with the airbags, so swapping to a different rack isn't so easy I'm told. We're going to try this out, and see how we like it first.

[Mike@PureMS]

that doesn't sound very much worth it. the mashaw CF hood is only 10lbs without hardware.. the composite hood is 12. but they aren't cheap either. :p

I agree. We're still debating about keeping it or scraping it for something lighter without a frame.
The nice thing is that this does reuse all the factory mounts, so it'll mount in a snap.

We'll decide soon enough.
