Sorry if it's a newb quesiton but what are they for? Or do they serve an "unknown" purpose like the old "dogbone" on the New Edges?
NVH (noise vibration harshness) reduction.

JPC matched Lethal's price. $695 shipped to me.
Easy install...
PS,
In that pic, the rear housing was dropped down as far as it would go, I was installing my QA1s. The drive-shaft is not really that close to the exhaust pipes.
What is the weight savings?
The new Tiger Racing Super Louvered Hoods are ready to ship. The carbon version will be sold in a grey primer; it is not a cosmetic fake carbon hood, but a real carbon part for weight reduction. The average weight of the carbon hood 15-16 lbs and fiberglass is 26-27 lbs.
The carbon hood is available at an introductory price of $1295, fiberglass $749, plus a small box fee and truck freight. We will start shipping back orders next week and are now accepting new orders.
Due to the nature of the carbon fiber, it does sometimes show a slight imprint of the carbon weave in the hood finish, very minor, but I need to make people aware. We could change the lamination process, add more material, time, weight and cost, but I don't think it's worth it.
The louvers will also come rough trimmed. This is done by hand and we try to get it 90-95% complete and may require slight finish work. Maybe just edge with a sanding block or file, again minor touch ups.
Feel free to contact me to place an order or ask any questions. Below are pictures of 2 production carbon hoods completed before shipping.
Thanks

Anyone know the weight of the 19" GT premium wheels and tires?
These wheels? From our 2011 GT, they weighed 57.2 lbs per corner.
2012 GT Brembo Stock Springs: 6.72lbs front each and 5.5lbs rear each
H&R Super Sports are: 6.88 front each and 6.68 rear each.
So fronts were super close but rears added over a 1lb in unsprung weight per side which was a little shocking. Fortunately I went from stock 31lb Brembo wheels to 23.1 lb aftermarket wheels so I feel OK about that.
Just a quick trick, if you want to accurately weigh lighter items on a home scale you can do so fairly accurately. Just hop on the scale without the item, record the weight. Next get back on the scale holding the item you're weighing. Subtract the previous weight.
After seeing the weights of all the wheel options, even aftermarket, I cant see leaving my Brembo rims behind. Plus I think they're sexy.
