It's aluminum, so it's lighter than most other cars.

I know that, I was looking at getting one from carbon by design. Their cowl hood looks pretty stock but with a taller cowl but says it ways 26lbs. Sounds heavy compared to stock but I can't find what the stock weighs.

yeah wonder what the seibon carbon weighs compared to the stock.

Lucky SOB · 03-29-2010, 07:41 PM

I'm pretty sure the stock hood is much more than 26lbs... I'll put my guess in at 60lbs

2010 SSRS · 03-29-2010, 07:45 PM

these hoods feel pretty light.

Michael_Js · 03-29-2010, 08:29 PM

heavy? I can hold mine up with 1 hand! Can't do that with my fiberglass hood!

I'll go out and try to weigh it now...

EDIT: 25.5 lbs

No brackets, no bolts, no washer parts - just the plain hood - with 2 vinyl stripes which can't weigh much at all.

29.8# aluminum.

holy crap!!

no, i'd say right around 25lbs. at least that's what it felt like when I unbolted it and threw it across my garage.. very light..

I have weighed two hoods and they were both 22lbs. Thats with no hood pad.

Our first ram air style hoods were weighing 33 lbs. Any aftermarket hood lighter than that will scare the s**t out of you when you pass a semi going in the opposite direction.
