Interest in Carbon Fiber Hood?

Would you be interested in a carbon fiber hood for your 2005+ Mustang that weighed only 8-10 pounds but cost somewhere near $1000?

Personally I wouldn't but that isn't really that much more than the $860+ Race Car Factory Hood

Possibly--what is the weight of the stock aluminum hood? That would be a nice place to shave 20-30 pounds off.

While some of Bash's stuff looks kinda nice. Considering they are more than double the price of the finishline radiator cover. And better than triple for the rksport rear panel. Not looking like I'll be buying there.

Yah those prices are off the chart from bash, and I havent heard one good thing about them yet other then they do good websites, LOL. Other than trying to say they have stuff to order, but dont have anything in stock. I could be wrong, but I would wait and see things come out from them before purchasing anything from them. good luck
