OK, so I was telling one of my co-workers about how I wanted to get a CF Hood for the weight reduction benefits, not for the look. He suggested that I check into getting a fiberglass hood, instead, since they are much cheaper. So my questions are: Do they even make these for our cars? What's the difference between carbon fiber and fiberglass? Any input would be appreciated.

Few companies here make genuine CF bonnets. My 'contact' is making a CF bonnet, tailgate, guards, roof and door skins for my rally car. Only the bumpers will be fibreglass  Gary [right][snapback]306850[/snapback][/right] well your rich and crazy then now arn't you  the "genuine" cf bonnet only comes from varis..... that isn't in the states you have to remember gary we are US peeps that don't get good stuff
