I'm not saying its heavy in general. Just when compared to the rest (5, 8 and 10 pound hoods) they are heavier.

 

Who are these other companies? Links?

 

fiber images, VIS (fit really nice), and spoon, lol

 

What does the small difference in weight matter anyway? I'd rather have a hood that won't shatter on me than one that is the lightest out there.. Don't confuse weight with quality or performance...
I make carbon hoods (no, don't ask me) and I'd rather have a little more weight than something that will blow apart if it gets hit by a small pebble at highway speeds.. Most carbon hoods on the market are mostly fiberglass anyways, so they are far weaker for their weight than pure carbon anyway. Fiberglass is a much better material for street cars though, it's much tougher and yields much smoother, unlike carbon which will explode when overloaded.

 

um eng i wouldnt believe that 15lb shit about an Invader hood

Unless i have a huge hood (which I do... dunno if its bigger than a 240 though), my hoods only about 5-10lb lighter than stock..

dougs OEM prelude hood (5g prelude though) weighs like 10lbs.. mines ilke 3-4 of his.

although my hood is bigger.. i believe the frame and extra fiberglass for the vents skeleton adds ALOT

mines vis.

 

Well I don't know what else to go on. That was straight from VIS
