And since when is carbon fiber rice, pretty sure they use it on some of the most high end sports cars made, and the majority of race cars...To be fair, there is race-duty carbon fiber which is made in an autoclave (pressurized oven) and there is rice carbon fiber which is little more than fiberglass that looks blingy.
I have no idea what the process behind these specific hoods is, nor if shaving a few pounds off the hood is a legitimate performance mod on a car with a sunroof, headliner, interior, etc. Audi uses an aluminum hood on the V8 A6 because the weight distribution already sucks on that car.
The M3 and M6 have carbon fiber roofs -- highest point on the body and any weight reduction there decreases body roll significantly.
Note that I don't disagree with your general sentiment -- butthurt over a lame car with no aftermarket is probably what's in play here

As I said above there is a massive, repeat <u>MASSIVE</u> aftermarket for Foxes, which includes my Cougar.Hey...Joe Dirt!
No one cares about your junkyard runner, how you bought a used transmission at a junkyard or how you live in a trailer...probably near a junkyard.
I guess the Spraypainted OEM "Mustang Turbines" and the Luggage rack are really what fast is about...not to mention they give you "the proper attitude"?

A cougar having more aftermarket than a Honda, or hell even a 240, lol... Just cuz ur Summit magazine has a bigger section doesnt mean shit...
You are forgetting something people have been hot rodding mustangs since they day they started rolling off of the assembly line. When the fuel injected 302 was released there was an aftermarket explosion, so much so that I'd say the fox mustang had almost as much to do with hot rodding as the 32 Ford did. You don't know your fox history but thats ok bubba I didn't expect you to, there are so many parts on the market for a fox body car, and they are still coming up with new ones for a car that has been out of manufacture for over a decade. Summit and Jeg's are only the tip of the iceberg. -
Faber when they start screwing up more and sending you eg CF hoods hit me up i need a new one!
