--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The carbon hoods are a 2 piece design that has a carbon top, next, hardware installed(for stock hood hinges and latch) then a liner is installed to make the hood rigid. It's a solid unit that you don't have to worry about it flying off your car the gel coat has UV additive to keep it from discoloring. Adding a few coats of clear is recommended for added protection and a even deeper shine. The weight of the hood is 15 pounds v.s. the stock hood weighing in at 40 pounds.

The fiberglass units don't have hardware so you will need hood pins to attach it to your car. The fiberglass in it does have a hood liner for added strength like the carbon hood. This Hood weighs in at 15 pounds v.s. the stock hood weight of 40 pounds. ****** for an added cost the fiberglass hood can be fitted with the factory mounting hardware*****

since these are a new item,shipping prices are unknown. i know usps wont ship them as they are too big, ups scares me because the destroy anything they can. im going to check on freight shipping and see if thats possibility as thats the method i currently use to ship motors/trannys with good results.
