Not positive, I'm gonna see who my brother n law recommends. I'm thinking either Billy Smiths' Body shop on Furnace Branch Rd. or Boyd's...which is on RT 1 and right up the street. I've had a little bit of work done at each place over the years and both did a great job.

Hhm, maybe but i had no problem picking it uo and moving it around when I did the swap....awkward for sure but not too heavy. Maybe 45lbs?

I would think a true CF hood would weigh in at 3lbs befroe brakets were added. I have picked up aircraft wings 30" long that weigh less than my hood!

I would guess they are in the 45-50 lbs range too. Not too heavy, but pretty awkward trying to move it around by yourself...

Maybe a full CF hood could be that light, but this is an APC hood that is fiberglass with CF on top.
