Is the hood part of the crumplezone in a crash? if so, leave it, if not..do what you want to it imo.

Obviously there will be a weight savings, not sure how much though since I'm still in pre-negotiations. It'll be less than half the weight of the stock hood.
Anyone interested? Price will be 829$ for the hood in black or regular carbon fiber. He's promised me that much. Silver will be 99$ more.
He needs at least 15+ orders.
