Well the paint is custom but the hood is real you get it from AWE

Not cheep but if you really really want to drop some weight and get the look they are really nice i hear

 

yea that looks sick

 

just pick up a VIS or FI hood from ebay or somehting they can be had as low as $500 shipped. Then have it painted however u want.

You do get what you pay for. The AWE one is a true CF hood. The cheap VIS one is fiberglass with a CF cover sheet. Before you spend any money on the hood, find some one local with one, & check out the fitment!!!!

VIS, is really poor, it's wavy, has gaps, & the front doesn't line up. Also the sides are about 1/8in shorter, so there are bigger gaps there. Plus VIS hoods shrink over time, cuz they are cheap! Really not that much lighter, it's more of bling, then anything else.

If you want to make the care faster, do everything else first, then go after weight. My first thing would be to change the seats, remove the AC, remove the sunroof, LTW battery in the trunk.

 

sk s4 on the side you should sell Audi parts, every time people try an cut it a little cheep you go and sell the good stuff. can you sell a ice blocks to an Eskimo????

 

HAHAHA. I agree with 2k, i never go cheap. I allways go with a well known company with a good reputation and quality products even if it is more expensive. Allthough i certainly wont be spending money on a cf hood an trunk untill im full stage 3

 

I do admit even from what I have seen AWE and all the big companys have the best parts, I mean come on look at some of the cars the AWE has put out. love that silve bullet looks so sexy
