Gen6 weight of OEM hood and trunk??

Looking for a future carbon fiber modification for my '07 Camry (don't care about the looks, just the weight reduction), and was wondering if anyone knew the weight of the OEM hood and trunk?

I highly doubt anyone here has taken off, and weighed their hood and/or trunk lid.

Something tells me that the electronics that you added to the car would make a bigger weight reduction for less money than swapping hood and trunk.

yea... i think it would be better to take the trunk and hood off and weigh them yourself... there's no reason for anyone to take off their trunk or hood unless they are replacing it


I see that your TRD avatar faded to yellow as well

My wife has those wheels... yes, they have faded to yellow.

My friend owns an autobody shop, I will probably stop by there and see what he can come up with.
