you'd be unique for a while then everybody will get the C/F trunk lid.

if your out for handling, im sure weight loss would be great. IMO, having a 50/50 ratio is better than losing maybe 15 lbs. if you get the hood only, and keep the OEM trunk, you would be closer to 50/50. i believe stock pros are 54/46 or something... and if i remember correctly, getting mattys SC would also help you lose some front end weight!


but im just ranting here

Can you put a wing on a C/F lid? I thought I heard it isn't strong enough sometimes and cracks if you put it under to much presure.

well, my fathers miata trunk is factory stock aluminum (sp?). his wing is plastic, but you cannot tell. if you slam the trunk down you could dent it, so i believe you could dent CF also if you tried enough.
