Does anyone have cut some of their hood reinforcement to lightning it?
I have a spare N/A hood and I was planning on cutting weight of it.
It would be a lot cheaper than buying a fiberglass one.

What do you guys think?
How much (or where) can be cut without risking to cave-in the hood on the highway?

Thanks

I think I would attack it with a hole saw before I actually removed any of the braces.

Not worth it how much weight you think your gonna cut.

Speaking for myself (as a 220 lb'er), I'd be looking to lose some weight from my own self before resorting to picking pieces of metal from the hood.
