Carbon Fiber?

Is it worth the extra few hundred dollars for a carbon fiber hood, is the weight really that big of a factor, I dont plan to do much drag racing, once a month or so, and it'll probly get it painted anyway.

I completley disagree. If you are removing several pounds (such as rear seats, front k-member swap, etc) a carbon fiber hood can make a great differnce...it all adds up.

But he also said he's only drag racing once or twice a month. He doesnt really need the weight loss he'll get with a carbon fiber hood. Now if he was racing all the time, then yeah it's worth it.
