Just a heads up.
Looks like there will be a new lightweight Carbon Fiber hood coming out for the Viper by year's end.

Another way to shave off a few more pounds.

Yeah but you have to have so much money that you can use dollar bills as toilet paper to have enough money to buy a full kit from both of them

This next one will be a blend of Plastic and Carbon.
Should be a bit more on the affordable side of the cost equation.

X2. $2035 for a hood is more than most would pay.

C3 Powersports has made a full CF hood for the Cat chassis for three years now. Was running one on my 2012 M8. 1200 bucks with integrated air box and it was 14lbs lighter. If one is running a turbo on their Viper the same hood without air box should work and be a bit cheaper yet. Their fuel tank saved roughly the same weight again but was around 2k. With a can and a few other things I was down about 60 lbs or around 420 dry.
