Does anyone have any experience with a carbon fiber hood?
I was at trufiber.com browsing for S550 parts and saw they had a 40 lb fiberglass hood for $800, a 30 lb carbon fiber hood for $1800, and a lightweight 17 lb carbon fiber hood for $1800. That's a fair chunk of change for me and doesn't include paint, but it is a big weight reduction, and it's right over the front axles. If someone knows the OE hood weight, we can do the math and see how close that gets to 50/50.

I suspect that a good source for the weight of the OEM hood would be the very company that markets the aftermarket hoods. Worth also verifying with them that their hood has sufficient flex stiffness that it will not flutter at high speed. The air flow buffeting that goes on above and under the hood at high speeds can be a challenge. Also, probably a good idea to steer clear of glossy finishes on the hood as this will create glare.
