Out Of Control!!
Do you have the right answer? Have you put a hood on a scale? Because no one else has either and that's as close to accurate I've found. If you have two people and a scale and a w202 then go weigh it, if not, then take it for what it is, an estemate. Did you have a real point or are you just trying to blow wholes in the thread for no reason?

I don't have a 202 but I have a 208 and yes I weighed the difference. It was MUCH less than what you are claiming. Just don't want people to get their hopes up based on shipping calculations. Oh and relax geez. I thought you would want the data to become more and more accurate.
Austin I realize about the same in the 1/4 .1 per 100lbs

You didn't offer any data, and you still haven't. I am not trying to be a jerk but add something if you like, don't come in here and make people look stupid. If you would post the weight specs you got from when you weighed out the difference(on your CLK), that would be great. In the post I stated they were estimates. Sorry if I came off a little harsh but I cant stand when people show up threads where the posters have spent time putting together numbers and just drop rude one liners that offer NO data proving otherwise for no other purpose but making someone appear to lack knowledge.

Site I almost bought from says 19lbs with out the hood latches... Don't know why they would lie. I guess the latches could weigh in at 7lbs but I doubt it. Either way, the hood should save you around 40lbs.
Now I cant find that dam site.

Extremely interested, yes. BTW, do you have more pictures of your car posted up somewhere. The in two or three years when prices drop down a bit more I am parking the C43 in the garage and replacing it with a C63 as my DD. So I would love to see what you have done to it.
