All I know is that the trunks and hood on our cars are made of high strength steel so I don't mind the weight.

Is that a good thing? Honest question. The Supra uses an aluminum hood that doesn't weigh much more than CF, and I haven't heard any negatives to its lighter construction on a platform very similar to ours. What are the advantages to a very strong/heavy hood? Protection against very heavy hail storms?? It doesn't serve much of a crumple zone purpose, does it?

Does that include the spoiler or is that for a spoiler-less trunk?
