Close to the regity of CF but not quite as strong. But looks really good!!

As for the CF on the white, that is hot dude!!! I think CF looks good on every color. Every time I pop my hood, I thank Mikey for the CF engine cover!! Hey Mike, would you be interested in a set of hood dampers that are CF? I am working on get some made!!

The car looks great dude, hope to get mine to that stage one day!! Jason
you are getting CF hood dampers made?

Actually...I am still running no dampers at all. This way I can shave that weight off of there as the lighter it is...the better. Now I have also been thinking about removing the boat anchors in the front and rear I have heard about before the next autocross season starts too. Its a heavy boat...anything to lighten it would be cool with me so long as I dont lose the daily drive-ability of it.

The tube will have a CF wrap. They will be available for CF/Aluminum hoods and the standard hood. Jason
