Any weight numbers on a carbon fiber driveshaft?

I don't think the speeds that you are going on those freeways would matter . If you get in an accident there it would only be a scratch going 5 mph.

Just kidding.

not a Seibon part, but the ACPT one weighs around 12-13 lbs. I was too lazy to weigh mine before installing it.

billyc on here has the carbon hatch, fitment looked pretty damn good.

the fitment on those parts are pretty decent. im thinking about picking up the hood but im like 50/50 on the hatch.

just received and installed the seibon OEM hood, have the hatch- just haven't swapped the glass over yet.

Hood weighed 20.8 lbs blank, ~26 pounds once I ported over the internal TMIC ducting

Hatch weighs 12.8 lbs blank. Not sure yet what total savings will be. Does look like I will have to delete the rear wiper, but that's ok because the brackets for a giant wing on going there

After a bit of drilling, hood fitment was very good. These parts are basically dimensional replicas of the OEM parts. Will report back once I get the hatch fitted.
