Honson, that looks bad *** man. Hmmmm, should i do it to my C55? 
You said it cuts about 1/2 the weight, do you know how much the regular hood weighs? Looking good, i cant wait to see the finished product!

Looking good, i cant wait to see the finished product!well I dont really expect a lighter hood to make any much of a noticable difference but well I just think its something different and good to have at carshows, not to mention get some ooohs and aaaahs!! I doubt a stock hood weighs that much, but we do have a W203 hood at my bodyshop in parts and comparing the weights by hand, the CF hood is 1/2 if not less then 1/2 of the OEM hood's weight.

Is the hood custom made or ordered from Visracing?
There is good money to be made for anybody making these hoods. I would love to have one for my 00 E430.(silver)

yes, but I have to talk to my people about it!!! Since its going to be the first one, it might be a big time consuming, not to mention a bit more costly!!! But it could be done!!

Since the C55's use nano-paint technology, would this mean the CF hoods wouldn't have this or is there a way for you to do this? Just curious.
