Created a lightWeight replacement hood

When I started to get bored of my White Skyline's body design, I decided to modify it. I was looking through some "Import Tuner" magazines and saw some light weight carbon fiber hoods for Cars. So I decided to make something similar

The product: a Lightweight lexan hood colored Black.

i can post more details if anyone is interested

It would make your body more fragile since the hood is a large section of the body. The amount of weight you save by replacing the hood isn't enough to justify having an easily broken body.

nah
Bits dont really go that fast to crash'em. I havent notice any fragile-ity in the body. Still works like it usualy does with the lexan


(BTW tryin to get the pic underneath, but i cant get it to focus close up)
