Seibon VS style hood weight = 12.8 pounds

My friend held onto each hood while standing on a scale then we subtracted his weight.

Sorry to revive an old thread.

Has your friend been "fat checked"?

BTW - like the CF stuff but not sure about a completely naked panel other than the roof..

Ive got everything in Dry Carbon but the roof, Which looks like a PIA to install.


I think I only got 2lbs from the hood though. Fenders might have been 5lbs total. might have been ~60lbs from doors. I have a file at home with all the weights
