I just want to know if the isf has aluminum stock hood? It seems lighter than other cars and it sounds different when you knock on it...sounds like a very thin material,similar to evos

Try a magnet, and you'll see it's aluminum.

so being aluminum is almost having the same weight as carbon fiber

The gas shocks that lift the hood take a lot of the weight. That's probably what you're feeling.

yes. correct. same with the 350z. no point in getting CF if weight saving was your goal.

i also thought about that,but when i tap the hood,it also sounds different,sounds like a light weight material

lobux, so does this show that the roof without a sunroof was aluminum too based on the color coding? Damn, talk about weight savings, stupid sunroof I never use anyway!

Looks like it! Or get the carbon roof panel a company in Japan offered (for the is250 or 350 I can't remember which or the company, I saw it back when i was trying to justify a 350 with the abundance of sard parts)
