FPerron Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Don't get excited:lol: Just confirming that no one makes a lightweight hood for the Legacy GT. Right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowImg Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Subaru makes a pretty light one, it comes with the car Haven't seen any non-custom CF hoods though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siper2 Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 If the aluminum hood seems heavy, try lifting a steel one some day. For an idea of scale, consider the GC WRX aluminum hood, versus the stock GC Impreza/2.5RS hood. http://www.scoobymods.com/forums/subaru_aluminum_hood-t81.html I have been told that the aluminum hood drops 30lbs off the front of your car.

rao Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 If you lighten up the front end you better install a real front wing, otherwise your car might flip backwards at speed Rob IF YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR CAR YOU SHOULD NEVER DRIVE IT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scoobydoobie Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 I'll bet if you asked R-REV, he could come up with one in a matter of time. He's made CF grills, fog light surrounds, eyelines, K2 replica window spoiler and I'm sure more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoubleM Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 There is one made, I think Mr. Luv had it at one point...I have pics of it on my harddrive. If he doesn't reply, I'll post them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nm Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Yes..I keep reading that, but I've never seen an actual weight quoted. It seems damn heavy to me. Take your car through and automatic car wash with the fan at the end. Watch the hood, it does crazy ass stuff. And yes, the hood is extremely light compared to steel.

mr_luv Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 I had the Ravspec hood for a season, its about as light as the stock it was a few mm short at the front where it meets the lights. It was a nice peice. I sold it to member ralphyralph in NY he didnt give me all the money we agreed on shorted me like 80 bucks on shipping it who knows where it is or he is now I chopped it up as a loss. I wouldnt mind another one with matching trunk that maybe in the works time will tell. Here are some pix. http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y209/mrluv1/Picture455.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y209/mrluv1/Picture454.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y209/mrluv1/Hoodlipqtr.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y209/mrluv1/Picture453.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y209/mrluv1/Picture452.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y209/mrluv1/Picture454-1.jpg Mr.350 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

05lgt5spd Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 Just wondering why you would put one on when you actually might GAIN a few pounds by doing it? For one, how many legacy's do you see with them. Its unique. why do people drop $1,200 on aftermarket front bumpers? why do people buy cf grilles and insanely expensive lips? some people like them.
