xc240x, I saw in your signature that you have a carbon fiber hood on your W203. Do you have any pictures that is showing off the carbon fiber hood? What does it look like? Where can I find out more information about them?

If you have any pictures of it, it would be greatly appreciated if you could post them here.

Thanks.

the hood was bought from vis racing... i got mine for a pretty good price b/c i was working at a shop, so just contact vis and ask them for a dealer near you... their address should be www.visracing.com. and here's a pic of the hood showing off the carbon fiber.

How much weight do you really save with the CF hood?

Question

xc240x,

You don't have a location. The decals on the right side of your windshield would cause a "legal" problem almost anywhere in the states. Have you had any run-ins with your local constabulary?

Mb-bob, all i really notice with the filters is better gas mileage, maybe a little better throttle response at middle speeds.

Mdp, I having put either hood on a scale or anything, but i know i can easily lift the carbon fiber hood with one hand... the stock hood is noticably heavier.

Mark, I live in miami, fl... yeah the decals are illegal to have there, but then again so is my winshield tint. The cops haven't bothered me for either of those.

I was going to ask about the tint also. Any chance of posting a side view of you car, I'd like to get a better view of those wheels. Thanks.

The hood is not the same on the c-coupe. The coupe has no sheetmetal in common with the sedans!
