In the same vein, I had considered a CF hood for my TSX to save weight, but it only saves about 10lbs. The CF truck saves only 6lbs! Not worth the cost, fitment problems, ugly looks, and potential hazard of the hood flying open on the freeway.

In the States, most could stand to loose a few pounds of body weight. That would be the cheapest, easiest, and most healthy option to add "performance" or "economy" to a vehicle.
