I'd imagine you wouldnt get much weight savings from carbon fiber with the hood already being aluminum but I dont know the weight difference between the two so who knows.

NP, a good number of the body panels on the RL are aluminum. I know for a fact the hood and fenders and trunk lid are. I dont know about the doors and the rear quarters. But they did it to save weight since the RL is a pig LOL

Doesn't it make you wonder what he was searching for that made him find and revive a thread that has been dead for 2 and a half years?
