Thanks for the post.



I've never really been a fan of CF hoods... but this setup is definitely doing it for me.

The question is how many kg/lb were shaved off the car?

Curious also.. I can't imagine much, given the roof and hood are already aluminum as far as i've come to understand.

Probably not much, maybe 10-15kg. Without additional horsepower, it's hard for anyone to justify paying thousands of hard earned dollars. At least bumping 20hp and 20lb.ft of torque, I can see the BRZ STI move out of the dealer faster. Maybe it's just me though.

At least now I know approximately what wheel width and offset I want

I don't like Carbon Fiber hoods and roofs but they did an awesome job here. The lip spoiler makes it looks more aggressive than ever before.
