This WAS Jarid's. :) He got the first inverted one too and decided to sell the oem style hood. I happen to be local so I was able to get it from him. He and I installed it last Saturday. So this IS the first cf hood.
I believe Jarid said that he weighed it and it came in at like 12 lbs as compared to stock which was like 30 or 40 lbs. Hope this helps.

lol Jarid put those on. He just didn't have them on for his original picture. Actually we had to remove the stock latch mechanism because for some reason the hood wouldn't go down all of the way using it. So, the hood pins are what's keeping it from flying up. :)
