WTB lightest possible vented hood
 
Not too fussed on the brand, must be functional.

The OEM hood is pretty freaking light already.

Why not just add vents? It'll probably be much cheaper and just as light as a CF hood.

In February @MicheleAbbate was selling one of these used with accessories. She might still have it.

I'm going to assume the joke is an inside thing that I don't get. All good.

Cost matters. True story. With that being the case lightweight dry carbon hoods are all going to be "up there" in price. Now since wet carbon hoods are rarely much lighter much lighter than the stock hood, maybe simply venting the stock hood would be the way to go. @VeloxEric and @CSG both have functional hood vent kits that can be installed in an afternoon for the stock hood.

you might be right. Mike is damn fast in a car - too bad he doesn't race any more. I let him drive the FRS though... ;) good times...

I've got that hood, but decided not to sell it..

I hit 134 on entrance in 1 at Cal Speedway in January... pretty fun :)
