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.

price difference, weight difference, actually fits ST202, and real vents... the real thing, real grille too. all under 15 lbs
shipping was only like 120 or something, just a lot of wait.. just like projector headlights - why? because they look cool  have any of you actually felt stuff that is REAL solid CF, not overlaid? -------------------- If anyone needs interior stuff, etc, I'm parting whats left of my celi out. Just ask.
