just my opinion, but it looks a little too "asian" for me...and i'm asian! if my name was johny nguyen and i am ultra buff with a wife beater and tatoos, it would be the mod for me. LOL.

i agree that the WRX hood is already pretty lightweight. that money is better spent elsewhere.

Haha, it's ok. We can all only do as much as our budgets allow. I was given an offer I couldn't refuse. :banana:

Nah the CF hood is half the weight of the stock hood.

Maybe a cheap *** one, but mine is heavier than the stock hood. Seriously, I don't think there's a CF hood that's lighter than the stocker. If you're bored, take it off and see for yourself. I have change that weighs more than the hood sometimes.

Actually I did weigh both of them, maybe it's not half but it's pretty close to it. Why would you replace your hood to something heavier anyways? That's why most people get CF becuase it's lighter, I have it because I got it for free. :banana:

1st of all, I didn't know how much the hoods weighed. 2nd, I already paid for it and got a fat deal. 3rd, I always wanted one and got it. So yah.....*violin*

JK!!
Actually, I liked the stock painted hood a lot better than the CF hood, yet I'm still using my CF hood. Don't ask me, I can't make up my mind anymore... So I'm not picking any sides at all, not tryin to argue with anybody either
