will the gt4 hood and bumber add any kind of significant weight... are my stock hood and bumber lighter or heavier than the gt4's???
my car feels like a cow, i wanna lighten it up , not make it heavier...

the gt4 hood is MUCH lighter than the st-204 hood..just guessing, i'd say at least twice as light.
the bumper im not sure, but that wont be signifigant.

yay, thanks...
quick question.. where did you get your info?? did you ever compare them?? or is this common nowledge that i dont have???
Judging from my stock bumper and the gt-4 one, the gt-4 bumper is thicker and slightly heavier. But it's not a huge difference, also the fog's will make it heavier to.
mina...i have the gt-4 parts..so i know from comparison..einhander is right about the bumper and fogs too...the factory fogs are heavy for what they are..lol, but i think the hood would more than compensate for the extra weight.. >

my car is heavey... it looses traction like a bitch... i wanna make it lighter so i can launch better..

The hood is lighter without a doubt, and cutting down the 5mph bumper to fit the bumper cover, shaves a tiny bit of weight (aluminum).
While we are on the topic. every time I open my hood it feels like it weighs like 40 pounds... does anyone know the numbers of what the stock verse a carbon fiber?

I was thinking the same thing john... if you want traction you want MORE weight.

honestly i havent drove my car in forever... give me a week or two for it to come out the shop and be broken in ... and ill tell you wuzup...
i think i want lower weight for acceleration purposes , not traction... my power @ less weight= easy catching up
