Newb Sauce on some hood questions, CF or Fiberglass paintable? Options

[Jeremiah]

Hello all,
I want to lighten my front a bit - was thinking of doing this with a fiberglass hood or something. I want to be able to paint it later (so no carbon fiber right?).

Before I spend the $$$ though - anyone notice a difference with a lighter hood, or would my money be better spent elsewhere?

If ya want real Carbon fiber im pretty sure you would have to go with jdm companies like c-one but u know its gonna cost ya. (over 1000 for hood alone) as far as will you notice a diffrence na, you would actually have to do a bigger weight reduction than just ligten your hood. Of course techinally there would be a difference but you prob wouldnt notice it. i think if you already have the gt4 hood (if thatz what type of cf hood you looking for) then stay with it. spend the money on something else cause the lighter hood is not worth swapping a stock gt4 hood. unless your going all out on a weight reduction. but thatz my opinoin
