Spoon utilizes carbon fiber for its high strength and light weight. These properties allow it to be used as a replacement part for weight reduction. The Spoon carbon hood is approximately 1/2 the weight of the stock hood, the weight reduction being the equivalent of removing the air conditioning system. Reducing front weight in a FF car helps reduce Understeering, improves turn-in response, reduces brake load and improves acceleration. The Spoon carbon hood has an extremely high quality weave and a fit and finish that is the standard for all carbon hoods.
