JC Sports,

Do you still have the Carbon Fibrel hood? How much does it weigh/cost? Do the standard RS scoops/vents fit? Is there a carbon trunk as well?

I hear that the CF hood is 14lb lighter than a stock hood without the plate covering the vents!

I heard that a Sube driver got protested at the National Tour in Co for having a CF hood in STS too. www.autocaresubaru.com claims that the CF hood weighs 15 lbs.

You heard incorrectly. It was a Subaru driver initiating the protest against a Honda driver, and it held. The protest committee denied a claim against rolled fenders-- good news for me, if I ever decide to. They also rejected a protest against non-CARB certified headers, since the participant didn't live in California and the event wasn't there either.

Colin, You've got your info mixed up. It was actually an Impala SS driver (who btw is the second driver of my car) protesting a Subaru driver for the hood. My hood was used for the weight compaison of a stock hood (34lbs) and the CF hood (same as JC Sports sells) was 14lbs lighter.
