Robispec hood and trunk weave
So i'm in the market for a cf hood and trunk. Do any of you know if Robispec's are 2x2 weave? Need it to match w/my voltex rear diffuser and chargespeed sides. If they're not 2x2, anyone know which brands are? May end up w/a Voltex cf hood.

It's 2x2... the only 1x1 you'll find will be Chargespeed, Ralliart, Do-Luck, Varis and a few others. Even the C-West is 2x2... sucks IMO. I'm still looking for a Chargespeed trunk.

Decided to shed some weight, and Robi came to the rescue again....
Introducing 'Downforce Composites' Carbon Fiber Hood & trunk. Very happy with overall quality and fitment.
**Mods, Please note this is not 'show-n-shine' material. These are very thin & light construction on purpose. Only reason for these parts was to loose weight.
Please also understand that I weighed all this on my bathroom digital scale, so actual weight will vary a little but I feel these numbers are very real.
Lets just put it this way.. I could pick the hood or trunk up with my pinky finger.
DC Hood Weight: 11 lbs
OEM hood weight: 18.5 lbs
DC Trunk weight: 7 lbs
OEM trunk weight: 22.5 lbs
Oh, and I also put on a JDM evo9 rear bumper & removed the rear bumper support.
another 18 lbs off the car...
total weight shedded: 41.5 lbs

hey nils,
two questions...
do you not need to run pins on that hood or was that just when it was first mounted up and they weren't installed yet?
also, how much reinforcement was necessary on the trunk to handle the load from the wing mounts?
thanks,
sean
