The only reason to change your hood out on a car is to save weight, and in Z32s cases, it doesnt, the OEM is lighter than CF. Keep it on there.

Ahh, but no hood is lighter than Escort... HA! Mark for teh win!
But stock hoods arent vented, once you get some nice big tubs under the hood, vents really do help. trust me. Even stock, you know how much heat lives under the hood of the Z. You can lower the engine temps pretty damn good by getting (or custom venting the stock) a vented hood. But it all depends if you're gonna get a vented hood just to look cool, or to acctually keep engine temps down. (trust me, a few laps on a track and youll def notice a difference. Shit, just lettin tha car warm up youll be able to feel a good amount of heat escaping from the vents.

Me and Chris were just talking about that.. Escort Vented hoods are nice.
yea, escort kicks ass, its the best of both worlds. Lighter than stock (which is hard to get) and vented. All in all with the other hoods (border- which is a fuckin good one, VIS, etc) its kind of a draw. You get a little bit of weight added (not much, but its not lighter), but its vented...without the escorts hefty price tag. But yea, escort kicks ass. Im gettin a border though. Think they look better than the escort :o !

Get the CF VIS racing one yo. JK. My only thing with Escort's hood is that scoop at the front. I know it's functional, but I don't like it.

If you're doing this to save weight, you'd be better off getting your lard ass onto a tred mill a few times a week.
Yea I said lard ass, because chances are that you are in fact a lard ass...
sorry.
But yea, styling, do your thing. I dont care.

^OMFG!!! Classic man.
The only thing carbon fiber is gonna help is a full light weight body, like the new Viper or any exotic sports car.
Where is Ecko......I know he has a carbon fiber hood. Ask him!

He also has 19's that weight like 60 lbs a piece. Lightweight isn't in his vocabulary.

Three turtles decided to have a cup of coffee. Just as they got into the cafe, it started to rain.
The biggest turtle said to the smallest one, " Go home and get the umbrella."
The little turtle replied, "I will, if you don't drink my offee."
"We won't," the other two promised.
Two years later the big turtle said to the middle turtle, "Well, I guess he isn't coming back, so we might as well drink his
coffee."
Just then a voice called from outside the door, "If you do, I won't go."
